摘要

BACKGROUND: It is thought that body mass index (BMI) influences Friedman tongue position (FTP). More specificity, patients with higher BMIs may have higher degree of FTPs. We check the suggestion in factory worker groups.METHODS: In 2008, 497 healthy workers were screened for oral cancer in a certain county of North Taiwan. One man with congenital cleft palate was excluded. Four hundreds and ninety-six examinee were enrolled, including 409 males and 87 females.They were 40.3 ± 9.6 years old (average ± standard deviation). Obtained the examinee's BMI, we divided them into four groups by degrees of FTP (I, II, III and IV). For subgroup analysis, we categorized them into FTP I & II / FTP III& IV and analyzed the relation of gender, age and BMI. Data was analyzed by ANOVA, chi-square and logistic regression tests (α = .05).RESULTS: In the male group, we found those with different degrees of FTP have significant difference on those BMI values. On the contrary, the increased degrees of FTP (especially I to III) are associated with increased BMI (ANOVA test, p ＜ .001). In the female group, there is no such significant relation statistically. In subgroup analysis, patients aged over 40 years have odds ratio of 2.51 to have FTP III&IV. When adjusted by age and BMI, the odds ratio increased up to 2.74. Patients with BMI≧27 kg/m^2 have odds ratio of 2.11 to have FTP III & IV. When adjusted by age and gender, the odds ratio increased up to 2.63.CONCLUSIONS: Because the women cases were far less than the men, the data of women is controversial. As far as healthy men are concerned, we confirmed patients with higher BMIs have higher degree of FTPs. The increased stages of FTP (especially I to III) are also associated with increased BMIs. Higher BMI and older age are associated with increased agrees of FTP.
