Abstract

A house to house survey on elderly subjects aged 60 years old and above was undertaken in a large district in Malaysia. A total of 486 subjects in randomly selected Enumeration Blocks were interviewed and examined. The prevalence of oral precancerous lesions was recorded at 3.3%, of which leukoplakia was the most common. When the ethnic distribution of these oral precancerous and cancerous (OPC) lesions was compared, 72% of those inflicted were Indians. Oral cancer was detected in two subjects (0.4%), both of whom were of Indian origin. Among subjects with OPC lesions, 4.2% were smokers, 12.7% were betelquid chewers, 11.8% had indulged in both habits, whilst one subject had not practised any of the oral habits of interest (0.4%). The findings suggest the occurrence of OPC lesions to be related to betelquid chewing.

摘要

在马来西亚的一个大区域对60岁及以上的老年受试者进行了挨家挨户的调查。在随机选择的普查街区中，共对486名受试者进行了访谈和检查。口腔癌前病变的患病率记录为3.3%，其中白斑最为常见。当比较这些口腔癌前病变和癌性病变（OPC）的种族分布时，72%的患者为印度人。两名受试者（0.4%）被检测出患有口腔癌，两人均为印度裔。在患有OPC病变的受试者中，4.2%为吸烟者，12.7%为嚼槟榔者，11.8%同时有这两种习惯，而一名受试者没有任何相关的口腔习惯（0.4%）。研究结果表明，OPC病变的发生与嚼槟榔有关。
