Just wondering if those diagnosed with OC are categorized within any specified groups, such as, age, smoker, non-smoker, drinker ect...ect...

It seems like a lot of the "newbies" on this site are on the young side...Not to mention everyone that helped out with the Bethlehem, Pa walk of 2009 in the Lehigh Valley that not one person fit the typical profile and yes if I am not mistaken everyone on that board was HPV negative--concerning OC.

What are the current stats?

Are they parallel to what we are seeing on this site?
