Data on the lifetime number of sexual partners and smoking behaviour were obtained by questionnaire.
Neither the lifetime number of sexual partners nor smoking were associated with oncogenic HPV, the five most frequent HPV types separately or the presence of multiple types.
The lifetime (number of cycles to failure) of piezoelectric actuator, electric load and temperature are considered as the random variables and their probability distributions are discussed.
Lifetime number of partners, like HIV prevalence, is a cumulative measure.
LRS was measured as the lifetime number of F2 offspring raised to 15 years.
While many studies find that the lifetime number of sexual partners is an important risk factor for HIV infection at the individual level, the population average lifetime number of partners by country do not correlate well with national HIV prevalence.
However, crude determinants, such as lifetime number of partners, are likely to be strongly correlated with these more refined measures.
In the present study, only the lifetime number of sexual partners was associated with HPV infection risk in the GZ cohort.
By circumcision status, no significant difference between age at sexual debut, lifetime number of sexual partners, or reported condom use was observed.
Women preferring circumcised partners did, however, report more lifetime number of partners, (median number 3 vs. 2; Komogorov-Smirnov, p = 0.06).
These included each woman's age, marital status, education, occupation, religion and lifetime number of sexual partners, and their household's wealth and urban/rural status.
