No, we are not talking correlation, we are talking covariance. The rate in Israel is 4.1 and among New York Jewish women, 4.8 - about the lowest you will find anywhere.

The "part" of Asia with very low rates is Japan. Circumcision is nearly unknown but the famous Japanese fastidiousness with personal hygiene is generally considered to be the difference.
