 The incidence rate of uterine fibroids has been steadily rising since 1990, with the highest rate seen in middle socioeconomic status, SES, quintiles. Additionally, the prevalent rate in years lived with disability, YLDs, have also been increasing, with the greatest increases seen in low middle SES quintiles. This suggests that the burden of uterine fibroids is becoming more severe in these populations. Furthermore, the period and cohort effects show that the burden of uterine fibroids is increasing in both middle and low middle SES quintiles, suggesting that the burden will continue to increase and less measures are taken to address this issue.
