Global disparities exist in the burden of cervical cancer. Only 11 out of the 185 countries and regions reported an age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR) lower than the World Health Organization’s target as established by the Cervical Cancer Elimination Initiative. Human Development Index (HDI) was negatively correlated with ASIR and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) of cervical cancer. The disease's burden is marked by clear socioeconomic disparities, underscoring the need to develop and evaluate targeted cervical cancer prevention and control strategies for specific regions.
