Abstract Background: Hypertension (HTN) is an important risk factor for Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) mortality and morbidity among Iranians. The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of HTN and some of its related factors in south of Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted on the data of the Persian cohort study in Kherameh. The participants consisted of 10663 people aged 40-70 years. HTN was defined as either Systolic/Diastolic Blood Pressure (SBP/DBP) greater than or equal to 140/90 mmHg or taking medications. Pre-HTN was defined as SBP = 120-139 mmHg and/or DBP = 80-89 mmHg. The logistic regression method was used to identify the factors associated with pre-HTN and HTN.Results: The prevalence of pre-HTN and HTN was 18.8% and 27.7%, respectively. Male gender, old age, being unemployed, low education level, high Body Mass Index (BMI), no smoking, diabetes, Cerebro-cardiovascular disease, suffering from another chronic disease, family history of CVD, and negative family history of cancer and other chronic diseases were independently associated with pre-HTN (p<0.05). All variables, except for gender, smoking, and family history of cancer, were significantly associated with HTN. Drug abuse was also correlated to HTN (p<0.05).Conclusion: This study revealed the increased prevalence of HTN in rural and urban areas. Therefore, the health system needs to develop strategies to raise the accessibility of screening and diagnostic services. Keywords: Prevalence, Risk factor, Blood pressure, Pre-hypertension

Abstract Objectives Oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the 10th most common cancer in the United States (8th in males, 13th in females), with an estimated 54,010 new cases expected in 2021, and is primarily associated with smoked tobacco, heavy alcohol consumption, areca nut use and persistent high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV). Family history of cancer (FHC) and family history of head and neck cancer (FHHNC) have been reported to play an important role in the development of OSCC. We aimed to investigate the role of FHC, FHHNC and personal history of cancer in first/second degree-relatives as co-risk factors for oral cancer. Methods This was a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with OSCC at the Division of Oral Medicine and Dentistry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and at the Division of Head and Neck Oncology at Dana Farber Cancer Institute. Conditional logistic regressions were performed to examine whether OSCC was associated with FHC and FHHNC of FDRs and SDRs, personal history of cancer and secondary risk factors. Results Overall, we did not find an association between FHC, FHHNC and OSCC risk, whereas patients with a cancer history in one of their siblings were 1.6-times more likely to present with an OSCC. When secondary risk factors were considered, patients with a history of oral leukoplakia and dysplasia had a 16-times higher risk of having an OSCC. Conclusions Our study confirmed that a previous history of oral leukoplakia or dysplasia was an independent risk factor for OSCC. A positive family history of cancer in one or more siblings may be an additional risk factor for OSCC.

10542 Background: The incidence of colorectal cancer among persons aged < 50 years (early-onset colorectal cancer, EOCRC) has increased since the early 1990s. However, the risk factors contributing to this trend remain largely unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of participants who were aged < 50 years and without a previous cancer history, using the China Kadoorie Biobank cohort study. We analyzed data related to demographics, lifestyle habits, family history, and comorbidities of EOCRC cases with participants without colorectal cancer in this age group (controls). Univariate and multivariate-adjusted cox regression models were used to estimate the associations with risk factors. Results: We identified 225 EOCRC cases and 88842 controls that include the final analyses. Of the 225 EOCRC patients, 105 (46.7%) were colon cancers and 120 (53.3%) were rectum cancers. EOCRC cases were older, have more intake of fish and eggs, have higher BMIs, diabetes, and family history of cancer compared with controls (P < 0.05). After adjustment for potential confounding factors, increasing age (HR 2.18, 95%CI 2.05-2.31), BMI (HR 1.06, 95%CI 1.01-1.11), family history of cancer (HR 1.41, 95%CI 1.00-1.98), and more intake of fish (HR 1.54, 95%CI 1.09-2.19) were significantly associated with a higher risk of EOCRC. In sensitivity analyses stratified by cancer site (colon and rectum), the results remained consistent. Conclusions: Based on the large Chinese cohort study, we found increasing age, higher BMI or obesity, family history of cancer, and more intake of fish were independent risk factors for EOCRC. Further studies are needed to identify factors that cause the increasing incidence of EOCRC in China and other countries, and explore the potential mechanism behind.[Table: see text]
