The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

Background: Cervical cancer, linked to HPV and dysglycemia, lacks clarity on their combined impact. This study explores Ki-67's role in mediating HPV and dysglycemia effects on cervical cancer risk.: This study enrolled patients with abnormal cervical cancer screening results, undergoing colposcopy and conization at Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital's Cervical Disease Center from June 2018 to June 2023. Statistical analyses compared baseline characteristics across cervical lesion categories. Multinomial logistic regression examined HPV and dysglycemia associations with LSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions), HSIL(high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions), and cervical cancer, highlighting interaction and mediation analyses involving Ki-67.
