Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and their associations with sociodemographic, health, and behavioral factors in a southern Brazilian population. Information was collected from participants (n = 801) using a structured questionnaire during an oral cancer screening campaign held at an agribusiness show in southern Brazil in 2009. Data were described using frequency distributions or means and standard deviations. Associations between independent variables and outcomes w… Show more

“…Significant association with ageing has been present in other studies (19,21,22) confirming that accumulation of sun exposure is the main risk factor for AC. This statement is further corroborated by the significant correlation between AC and outdoor working for more than 25 years (OR 7.14), being the relation with accumulated time of UV exposure also reported by other authors (18,19,22,23,25). Fitzpatrick phototype II was significantly related to AC presence (OR 2.94); this is coherent with previous AC prevalence studies that found a significant correlation with light/fair skin or white/Caucasian race (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)25).…”

“…The rest of the analysed variables were not significant. Sex distribution showed a high proportion of females in both the screening and the AC population (59.1% and 55.4%, respectively) and this could be related to the higher tendency of women to seek dermatological consultation compared with men (30); in contrast, other AC prevalence studies showed a clear superiority of men (15,16,18,19,23,25) and the reasons the authors gave for that finding were that women often use lipsticks providing a physical block against UV radiation, have a bigger tendency to use a sunscreen and are less frequently engaged in outdoor activities. Furthermore, an important percentage of the AC prevalence studies were performed in specific populations with professional activities that clearly have a male predominance (fishermen, sugar cane collectors, farmers, rural workers).…”

“…Gheno et al (21) evaluated the association between the frequency of oral mucosal lesions and demographic, social, health and behavioral factors, and observed a significant association between the presence of AC and low levels of education. Literacy is directly correlated with access to education.…”
