ABSTRACT
This study aimed to identify factors associated with the occurrence of primary cancer of the lip and oral cavity regions compared to other types of head and neck cancers according to demographic, socioeconomic data and lifestyle, in Brazil, from 2000 to 2011. A study was conducted using Hospital Cancer Records ( The study showed factors associated with higher incidence of cancer in the lip and oral cavity: being of advanced age (OR = 1.16), not having a family history of cancer (OR = 2.38), alcohol consumption (OR = 1.17); former tobacco use (OR = 1.51) or current tobacco use (OR = 1.65); having a previous diagnosis of cancer without treatment (OR =1.66). Being female (OR = 0.92), having completed basic (OR = 0.71) and higher (OR = 0.46) education and having previous diagnosis of cancer with treatment (OR = 0.74) constituted factors associated with lower prevalence of cancer of the lip and oral cavity. Age, absence of family history of cancer, smoking habits and alcohol consumption, and previous diagnosis of cancer without treatment were associated with a higher incidence of cancer of the lip and oral cavity.
Objetivou-se identificar fatores associados à ocorrência de câncer primário nas regiões de lábio e cavidade oral frente aos demais tipos de cânceres de cabeça e pescoço segundo dados demográficos, socioeconômicos e de estilo de vida, no Brasil, no período de 2000 a 2011. Realizou-se um estudo a partir dos Registros Hospitalares de Câncer (Instituto Nacional do Câncer), no período 2000-2011, totalizando 23.153 casos. Os dados foram analisados pela regressão logística binária (categoria resposta: cânceres de localização primária em lábio e cavidade oral; categoria de comparação: demais tipos de câncer primário em cabeça e pescoço, que não acometem lábio e cavidade oral) ao nível de significância α = 5%. Revelaram-se como fatores associados à maior ocorrência de câncer em lábio e cavidade oral: possuir idade mais elevada (OR = 1,16); não ter histórico familiar de câncer (OR = 2,38); ser etilista (OR = 1,17); ser ex-tabagista (OR = 1,51) ou tabagista (OR = 1,65); possuir diagnóstico anterior de câncer sem tratamento (OR = 1,66). Ser do sexo feminino (OR = 0,92); possuir ensino fundamental (OR = 0,71) e superior (OR = 0,46) completos e apresentar diagnóstico anterior de câncer com tratamento (OR = 0,74) constituíram-se fatores associados à menor prevalência de câncer em lábio e cavidade oral. A idade, ausência de histórico familiar de câncer, hábitos de tabagismo e etilismo e diagnóstico anterior de câncer sem tratamento estiveram associados a uma maior ocorrência de câncer em lábio e cavidade oral.

BACKGROUND The most common and best known hereditary coagulopathies are hemophilia A and B followed by von Willebrand Disease. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of tooth loss and investigate its association with demographic and socioeconomic data, as well as to discuss self-reported oral morbidity and use of health services by patients with coagulopathies treated in blood centers in Paraíba, Brazil. METHODS This was a quantitative cross-sectional epidemiological survey. Data was collected in the period from October 2011 to July 2012 by clinical examination and by assessing interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire. The findings were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics with the level of significance (α) being set at 10%. RESULTS One hundred and six, predominantly male (88.8%), patients with coagulopathies were evaluated. The ages ranged from one to 59 years. Most patients were of mixed race (61.3%), most reported family incomes between R$ 501.00 and R$ 1500.00 (49.1%), and most had not completed elementary school (37.1%). Hemophilia A was found in 76.4% of the cases. The prevalence of dental caries among individuals was 50.0% predominantly in the 13- to 19-year-old age range (66.7%). As regards to tooth loss, teeth were missing in 35.1% of the study participants. CONCLUSION Tooth loss is high in this population. Males with severe hemophilia A, those who use fluoride and have a good or very good perception about their last dental appointment have a reduced chance of losing their teeth.
