an index indicating the degree of maturation attained by the vaginal epithelium as adjudged by the cell types being exfoliated; serves as an objective means of evaluating hormonal secretion or response; represents the percentage of parabasal cells/intermediate cells/superficials, in that order; "shift to the left" indicates more immature cells on the surface (atrophy), while "shift to the right" indicates more mature epithelium.

A crude evaluation of a woman’s oestrogen status, based on a pap smear, using three values—X, Y and Z—to total 100, which corresponds to the percentage of parabasal, intermediate and superficial squames seen in the smear. Cells for the MI are taken from the lateral vaginal wall; 100+ cells are counted.
