Effect of metabolic syndrome on incidence of oral potentially malignant disorder: a prospective cohort study in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to assess the effect of metabolic syndrome (MetS) on incident oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD).

Design

We conducted a prospective cohort study of the Changhua community-based integrated screening (CHCIS) programme and nationwide oral cancer screening programme during the period between 2005 and 2014.

Setting

CHCIS, Taiwan.

Participants

We enrolled 17 590 participants aged 30 years and older.

Main outcomes and measures

We assessed the impact of MetS on the outcome measured by incident OPMD.

Results

The incidences of OPMD among subjects with and without MetS were 7.68 ‰ and 5.38 ‰, respectively. After adjusting for confounders, subjects with MetS exhibited a statistically greater risk of developing OPMD compared with th
