One of our time's most common oncological problems is cervical cancer, the most common pathology in the structure of gynaecological diseases. More than 300,000 deaths due to this pathology are recorded annually worldwide. The peak incidence occurs in women of working age, 35-60 years. This study aims to identify the main risk factors for cervical cancer among the population of the Poltava region. Our study involved 95 healthy women and 100 women diagnosed with cervical cancer. The data were collected using a questionnaire divided into blocks: demographic, economic, behavioural, reproductive health history, heredity, and attitudes towards preventive examinations. The odds ratio and chi-square test were used to determine risk factors. Statistical significance was determined at the level of p<0.05. Data entry and statistical analysis were performed using IBM SPSS version 25.0. The average age of the respondents was 48.4±12.5 years. It was found that the risk of developing cervical cancer increases in the presence of such factors as unsatisfactory financial situation (p=0.010), childlessness (p=0.018), high BMI (p=0, 006), poor dietary intake (p=0.003), history of abortion and genital inflammation (p<0.001), irregular health check-ups (p=0.001), and heredity for cervical cancer (p<0.001). The identified reliable risk factors allow further improvement of the early detection system of cervical cancer by strengthening their accounting at the primary stage of medical care.
