(TV) is the most common non-viral sexually transmitted infection (STI) among women worldwide. However, there is little information available regarding the burden of trichomoniasis infection among Chinese women. The aim of the present study is to assess the status of trichomoniasis in China. To address this gap, we searched seven databases for relevant studies published from their inception to June 2024. The overall prevalence of in China was determined to be 6.31% with a high level of heterogeneity ( = 99.68%). Subgroup analysis also demonstrated a statistically significant association between the prevalence in the type of population, age range, year, residential status, and province. Among these, sex workers are the most prominent with 12.16%. Meta-regression analysis indicated that the infection rate of among Chinese women had not shown a significant decline over time ( = 0.2919). Therefore, it continues to be a public health issue that should not be overlooked. Sex workers and rural women have a relatively higher infection rate of trichomoniasis, and this is largely associated with sexual safety awareness and hygiene conditions. Our findings provide crucial information for healthcare authorities and can shed light on the prevention strategies for trichomoniasis in China.
滴虫性阴道炎是全球女性中最常见的非病毒性传播感染（STI）。然而，关于中国女性滴虫感染负担的信息很少。本研究的目的是评估中国滴虫病的现状。为填补这一空白，我们检索了七个数据库，查找从建库至2024年6月发表的相关研究。中国滴虫性阴道炎的总体患病率确定为6.31%，异质性水平较高（I² = 99.68%）。亚组分析还表明，滴虫性阴道炎患病率在人群类型、年龄范围、年份、居住状况和省份之间存在统计学上的显著关联。其中，性工作者最为突出，患病率为12.16%。Meta回归分析表明，中国女性滴虫感染率并未随时间显著下降（P = 0.2919）。因此，它仍然是一个不应被忽视的公共卫生问题。性工作者和农村女性的滴虫感染率相对较高，这在很大程度上与性安全意识和卫生条件有关。我们的研究结果为卫生当局提供了关键信息，并有助于阐明中国滴虫病的预防策略。
