OBJECTIVE
To assess whether people who ever use any form of chewing substance in Asia are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
METHODS
PubMed and ISI Web of Science were searched for relevant studies, with no limitation on language or study year. Studies were included if they provided
Saliva of volunteers chewing betel quid, cured betel nut (Areca catechu), betel leaves (Piper betle), a mixture of quid ingredients (dried betel nut flakes, catechu, cardamon, lime, copra and menthol) and Indian tobacco was collected and examined for its genotoxic activity. Chromosome aberrations
BACKGROUND
Whether the habitual use of substances (tobacco, alcohol, or areca nut (seed of the Areca palm)) can affect the age of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) presentation has rarely been examined.
METHODS
The study subjects were those who were males and the first time to be diagnosed
BACKGROUND
With an increase in the abuse of various oral habitual products in India over the past few decades; the incidence of oral potentially malignant conditions as leukoplakia, oral submucous fibrosis and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) rates have also increased. No recent study has been
Nicotine and the minor tobacco alkaloids give rise to tobacco-specific N-nitrosamines (TSNA) during tobacco processing and during smoking. Chemical-analytical studies led to the identification of seven TSNA in smokeless tobacco (< or = 25 micrograms/g) and in mainstream smoke of cigarettes (1.3
BACKGROUND
According to World Health Organization (WHO), six million deaths are attributable to tobacco use globally, of which nearly 1.2 million occur in South-East Asia. Use of smokeless tobacco is highly prevalent in subcontinent and is home to over 250 million smokeless tobacco (ST) users. ST is
South-East Asia Region (SEAR) has more smokeless tobacco users as compared to smokers. The growing prevalence and cultural acceptance of consumption of flavored areca nut and related products, for example, supari and pan masala in many countries are confounding the scenario. The prevalence of a
Tobacco use usually starts in the adolescent age group and continues in adulthood. This study's aim was to identify knowledge regarding the adverse effects of tobacco and areca-nut use among high school children of Ahmedabad, India.An anonymous OBJECTIVE
To assess the overall prevalence of betel quid, areca nut, tobacco and alcohol use in the rural population of Muradnagar tehsil of Ghaziabad district and their awareness level towards adverse effects of these habits on general as well as oral health.
METHODS
A total of 422 persons from 63
While the association between residential socioeconomic environments and the use of globally common substances such as alcohol and tobacco has been well documented in Western countries, it remains little known about regionally important substances, such as areca nut in Asia. Objective: This
Tobacco and areca-nut use among adolescents has been reported from different parts of India. Multiple factors influence initiation of tobacco use among adolescents. Initiation of one product gradually extends to multiple products. Studies on initiation lack documentation of the Three cytogenetic endpoints were studied in non-chewing healthy controls and 3 groups of tobacco-areca nut chewers, viz. normal chewers, chewers with oral submucous fibrosis and chewers with oral cancer. Frequencies of sister-chromatid exchanges and chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood
The chromosome-damaging effects of urine concentrates (UCs) from tobacco plus areca nut (T/AN) chewers (a highly popular habit and a major risk factor for oral cancer in India) were evaluated on Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells employing two cytogenetic end-points, namely chromosome aberration (CA)

BACKGROUND
Areca nut and tobacco are commonly used drugs worldwide and have been frequently used in combination. We describe the use of on-line solid-phase extraction and isotope-dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the simultaneous measurement of five major urinary
