Risk Factors for Oral HPV in Northeastern Mexico
Objectives: To determine the risk factors associated with the molecular detection of oral HPV by PCR in a school community of a public institution of higher education in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico
Methods: Oral cytology was performed for subsequent molecular analysis by PCR. In addition, an interview-type questionnaire was administered in which sociodemographic data and family and hereditary history of interest related to the study variable were investigated in 304 participants
Results: The mean age of the individuals was 51.6 years, 86.05% (37/43) were female and 13.95% (6/43) were male. There was a statistical association (p = .001) between the presence of oral HPV infection and alcohol (53/63) and tobacco (48/63) consumption. Regarding comorbidities, these were found in 16.28% (7/43), specifically diabetes with 16.28% (7/43), and hypertension and endometriosis in the case of women in 11.63% (5/43) each, showing as significant (p = .001).
Regarding the presence of heredofamilial history of cancer in women, a statistical association was shown (p = .001), with breast (9/37), cervical (22/37) and uterine (4/37) cancer being the most prevalent. There was no statistical association between oral HPV infection and heredofamilial history of cancer in men (p = .577). Clinical oral lesions of the oral cavity were also found in the oral vestibule of participants (4/43) (p = .001)
Conclusions: Risk factors associated with oral HPV in the school community should be further studied as a possibility prior to genital HPV screening, as an alternative that does not compromise the privacy and intimacy of the user
