The variables in this article are maternal characteristics, menarche, age of first sexual intercourse, number of partners, parity and contraceptive use, as independent variables and cervical pre-cancerous lesions as dependent variables. Results: Factors influencing cervical pre-cancerous lesions were: Menarche with a value of P = 0.018; Age of first sexual intercourse with a value of P = 0,000; Number of sexual partners with a value of P = 0.023; and parity with a value of P = 0.049. Multivariate test results show that the age of first time having sex less than 20 years has a 2.3 risk; Mothers with high parity (> 4 children) and having more than one sexual partner have a 16.5 risk.
