Incidence of oral submucous fibrosis was calculated from a 10-yr prospective intervention study of 12,212 individuals with a strong component of health education on tobacco and area nut chewing. Based on 11 new cases among 6341 chewers, the annual incidence was 8.0 per 100,000 among men and 29.0 for women. An earlier 10-yr follow-up study, with no intervention component, served as control. Based on 11 new cases among 3,809 chewers, the annual incidence was 21.3 per 100,000 for men and 45.7 for women controls. Although the decrease in the incidence in the intervention cohort was not statistically significant due to small number of cases, the results underscored the causal role of areca nut chewing and indicated the potential for primary prevention of oral submucous fibrosis.
