Are There Environmental Factors that Influence HPV Infection?
Environmental factors can indeed influence the susceptibility and progression of HPV infection. For instance:
Pollution: Air pollutants may weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. Diet: A poor diet lacking essential nutrients can impair immune function, potentially increasing vulnerability to HPV. Socioeconomic Status: Access to healthcare, education, and vaccination can vary with socioeconomic status, influencing HPV prevalence and outcomes.
