China was determined be 6.31% with a high level heterogeneity (I2 = 99.68%). Subgroup analysis also demonstrated statistically significant association between type population, age range, year, residential status, and province. Among these, sex workers are prominent 12.16%. Meta-regression indicated that rate had not shown decline over time (p 0.2919). Therefore, it continues public health issue should overlooked. Sex rural have relatively higher trichomoniasis, largely associated sexual safety awareness hygiene conditions. Our findings provide crucial healthcare authorities can shed light on prevention strategies
