New Orleans, LA - A study led by Hui-Yi Lin, Ph.D., Professor of Biostatistics, and a team of researchers at LSU Health New Orleans Schools of Public Health and Medicine has found that adequate levels of five antioxidants may reduce infection with the strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) associated with cervical cancer development. Findings are published in the
Journal of Infectious Diseases. Although previous studies have suggested that the onset of HPV-related cancer development may be activated by oxidative stress, the association had not been clearly understood. This study evaluated associations between 15 antioxidants and vaginal HPV infection status no, low-risk, and oncogenic/high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) in 11,070 women aged 18-59 who participated in the 2003-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

All 171 governments have signed at least one human rights treaty recognizing that people have the right to life and health – but how can this guide decisions on vaccine distribution when demand outstrips supply?
An LSU Health New Orleans School of Public Health study reports a positive association between social vulnerability and COVID-19 incidence at the census tract level and recommends that more resources be allocated to socially vulnerable populations to reduce the incidence of COVID-19.
