A population-based survey was designed to investigate the prevalence of areca/betel quid chewing, oral submucous fibrosis and leukoplakia in a typical aboriginal community of southern Taiwan. Three hundred and twelve people 20 years of age or older were collected in the study. The prevalence of chewing areca/betel quid was 69.5%, with an average of 17.3 portions a day for an average 24.4 years. More women (78.7%) than men (60.6%) chewed areca/betel quid. The prevalences of oral submucous fibrosis and leukoplakia were 17.6% and 24.4%, respectively. It was found that the odds ratio for chewing areca/betel quid and having at least one of the above oral mucosal lesions was 8.21. Any additional smoking or drinking habits were not significant for having oral mucosal lesions. Although the areca/betel quid in Taiwan does not contain any tobacco, a significant association was still identified between areca/betel quid chewing and oral mucosal lesions.
一项基于人群的调查旨在调查台湾南部一个典型原住民社区中嚼食槟榔、口腔黏膜下纤维化和白斑的患病率。该研究收集了312名20岁及以上的人群。嚼食槟榔的患病率为69.5%，平均每天嚼食17.3份，平均时长为24.4年。嚼食槟榔的女性（78.7%）多于男性（60.6%）。口腔黏膜下纤维化和白斑的患病率分别为17.6%和24.4%。研究发现，嚼食槟榔且患有至少一种上述口腔黏膜病变的比值比为8.21。任何额外的吸烟或饮酒习惯与患有口腔黏膜病变并无显著关联。尽管台湾的槟榔不含任何烟草，但嚼食槟榔与口腔黏膜病变之间仍存在显著关联。
