To evaluate the prevalence of oral precancerous lesions in textile workers.
A cross-sectional study was undertaken to assess a total of 1167 textile factory workers randomly selected from a total of 6947. An overall 97 women and 1070 men aged 18-69 years (mean=31.8 years) were studied. Regular smoking during the past 6 months was considered as the smoker group. Leukoplakia lesions were classified in accordance to Axell criteria [Axell T, Pindborg JJ, Smith CJ and Van-der-waal I (1996). J Oral Pathol Med 25: 49].
The results showed that 115 workers (9.9%) had red and white lesions. Among these 43 positive detections (3.7%) had leukoplakia and six cases (0.5%) had lichen planus. The smoking habits of the workers were limited to cigarette smoking. There was a statistically significant positive correlation between tobacco smoking and oral leukoplakia (P<0.001).
There was a statistically significant positive correlation between tobacco smoking and leukoplakia in this relatively young cohort with generally mild tobacco use. The prevalence of leukoplakia had an inverse relationship with the level of education.
评估纺织工人口腔癌前病变的患病率。
开展一项横断面研究，从6947名纺织厂工人中随机选取1167名进行评估。共研究了97名女性和1070名年龄在18 - 69岁（平均31.8岁）的男性。过去6个月经常吸烟的被视为吸烟组。白斑病变根据Axell标准进行分类[Axell T, Pindborg JJ, Smith CJ和Van-der-waal I（1996年）。《口腔病理学与医学杂志》25: 49]。
结果显示，115名工人（9.9%）有红白相间病变。其中43例阳性检测结果（3.7%）为白斑，6例（0.5%）为扁平苔藓。工人的吸烟习惯仅限于吸香烟。吸烟与口腔白斑之间存在统计学上显著的正相关（P<0.001）。
在这个烟草使用普遍较轻的相对年轻队列中，吸烟与白斑之间存在统计学上显著的正相关。白斑的患病率与教育程度呈负相关。
