Association between Life course Socioeconomic position and Oral cancer among a sample of Indian subjects
Background: Oral cancer has high incidence and mortality rates in both the developed and developing world. Its main risk factors are tobacco and alcohol consumption and, in India, paan chewing habits. Although socioeconomic position (SEP) has been associated with oral cancer, no studies have assesse...

| 520 | |a Background: Oral cancer has high incidence and mortality rates in both the developed and developing world. Its main risk factors are tobacco and alcohol consumption and, in India, paan chewing habits. Although socioeconomic position (SEP) has been associated with oral cancer, no studies have assessed this association using life course SEP in an Indian population. Objective: To estimate the extent to which life course SEP is an independent risk factor for oral cancer and how much of this association is explained by behavioural habits and oral health related factors in a sample of Indian subjects. Methods: Data from 200 oral cancer cases and 150 controls were drawn from an ongoing hospital-based case- control study: HeNCe Life (Head and Neck Cancer Life course) study. Detailed information regarding SEP, behavioural and oral health factors over the life course was collected using a questionnaire and a life grid technique. Data analysis involved descriptive and logistic regression analysis. Results: Subjects who were in low SEP throughout their lives were at significant risk for oral cancer (OR=5.81, 95% CI: 2.90-11.64) when compared to those who spent their lives in high SEP. The addition of behavioural and oral health factors into the models attenuated this association (OR= 2.08, 95% CI: 0.89-4.89 for low SEP compared to high SEP). However, low lifetime SEP was still related to an increased risk of oral cancer. Conclusion: Low life course SEP is a significant risk factor for oral cancer in this population. | ||
