Oral cancer, Smoking, Alcohol, Risk factorsAbstract
Background: The incidence of oral cancer is increasing day by day in both males and females with increased smoking. The early-age of onset of consumption, duration of use, frequency of chewing of tobacco, bidis or smoked cigarettes and drinking alcohol on a daily basis are strongly linked to oral cancer.
Methods: The study included 86 cases of oral cancer aged 18 years and above and 86 controls. Consecutive cases were taken. After taking written consent interview was conducted. Categorical variables were presented in the form of frequency and proportions while continuous variables as mean and standard deviation. Statistical significance was attained when the p-value was < 0.05.
Results: The findings indicate that mean age for cases was 52.74±5.21 years. We found significant risk factors for oral cancer in relation to various habits like: passive smoking; cigarette use and age of its initiation; bidi use and age of its initiation; hookah use and age of its initiation; usage of smokeless tobacco products, age of their initiation and the type used, alcohol use, age of its initiation, type and amount of alcohol consumed.
Conclusion: To mitigate the increasing incidence of oral cancer in India, extensive public education campaigns and health promotion tactics targeting alcohol and tobacco use must be put into place.
