Abstract
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and poor uterine receptivity and implantation, which results in infertility, are two of the most prevalent benign neoplasms of the uterus that impact millions of women in the United States and around the world. The primary aim of this study is to model the incidence of uterine fibroids among women in the US. The secondary data collected for this study on possible factors associated with Uterine fibroid was extracted from the US department of health from the period of December 2018 to December 2022. The multivariate logistic regression model was adopted which indicates that the incidence of Uterine Fibroids is significantly associated with health risk factors and socioeconomic factors like family history, age, and adult women. Meanwhile, Vitamin D Deficiency has an odd ratio of about 2.4 which is higher than the other risk factors considered in the study. Consequently, American adults’ women must monitor their lifestyle, have their BMI, Vitamin D deficiency, and other risk factors for uterine fibroids diagnosed, and then make sure they are receiving adequate treatment to prevent the tendency to develop uterine fibroids, which in turn will lower infertility due to the incidence uterine fibroids.
