Popis: Little is known about the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of POP and identify its risk factors in Japan. This was a single-centre, cross-sectional study. We recruited Japanese women seen for a Pap smear from July 2018 through May 2019. After providing their informed consent, subjects were asked to complete questionnaires. Pelvic organ support was assessed using the POP quantification (POP-Q) system by an examiner. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify risk factors for POP. There were 1032 women aged 21 to 84 years. The distribution of POP-Q stage was stage 0, 38.0%; stage I, 45.0%; stage II, 16.4%; stage III, 0.6%; and stage IV, 0%. Rates (95% confidence interval [CI]) of stage II or greater in each age group were 6.6% (2.4–10.8) in 20 s–30 s; 17.6% (13.3–21.9) in 40 s; 17.1% (12.9–21.3) in 50 s; 18.0% (12.6–23.4) in 60 s; and 28.7% (19.6–37.9) in 70 s and over. Multivariate analysis revealed the following risk factors for POP, with odds ratio (95% CI): body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25 kg/m2, 1.63 (1.05–2.51); BMI
