Brief Summary

Tumors in the oral region occur more frequently in men over 40, but can affect people of both gender and all ages, even children. The prevention of oral cancer acquires relevance in public health, particularly if the investigators consider that the preventive approach is compatible with the nature of this disease, as the mouth favors easy visual access. The objective of this study is evaluation the prevalence of oral and perioral injuries in workers who were exposed to the sun on the beaches, investigating possible associations of a sociodemographic, occupational and general health nature.

Conditions

Buccal Cavity Cancer; Labial Lipoma

Keywords

Buccal cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• number of workers with labial injuries

  beach workers who do not adopt protective measures may have tissue damage to their lips

  2 months

Study Arms (1)

beach workers

Workers must undergo clinical examinations of the upper and lower lips, performed by previously calibrated researchers, through semi-technical inspection and palpation maneuvers, in order to identify injuries. Photo cameras can be used to improve the visibility of the lips using the image enhancement feature, to confirm the diagnosis. The clinical examination will include: dryness, atrophy, scaly lesions, lip swelling, erythema, ulcerations, cloudy demarcations between the vermilion of the lip and skin, demarcated folds along the lip, white spots or plaques, crusts, stained or pale areas. They should be evaluated with the application of a previously validated questionnaire containing information related to personal data, information on occupation and health was completed according to the responses of the volunteers. The OHIP-14 quality of life questionnaire will be applied together

Other: Oral clinical exam

Interventions

Oral clinical exam OTHER

Detailed anamnesis, with information regarding the time of sun exposure, protection measures, medical history and application of questionnaires will be carried out. Dental dental and tissue examination should be performed

beach workers

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 20 Years - 70 Years
• Sex: all
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

The sample will consist of adult individuals of both sexes exposed to the sun directly and indirectly. The independent variables analyzed were: sex, age, income (in reais), years of study, type of work, frequency of weekly sun exposure, time of daily sun exposure, cumulative time of sun exposure and photoprotection measures at the occupational level. Health data will be collected on habits (alcoholism and smoking) and skin type, according to the Fitzpatrick classification
