Were used the χ2 test and ANOVA comparing the groups never did collect, held annually and not those who made an annual basis. Variables with p values <0.20 were subjected to logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (OR).Results:The proportion of women who reported annual collection was 59.3%. Remunerated employment (p=0.04), and family income (p<0.01) showed significant association. In simple logistic regression, remunerated employment (OR=2.15), economic status (OR=3.32) and the having had the maximum of one pregnancy (OR=2.73) and, in multiple logistic regression, remunerated employment (OR=2.63) and the having had the maximum of one pregnancy (OR=2.60) were associated with annually periodicity for cervicovaginal smear.Conclusion:Women with remunerated employment and had no more than one pregnancy had a greater chance of achieving an annual frequency of cytology for preventing cervical cancer.</p><p></p>
