Abstract

Data on risk of metabolic syndrome among various forms of tobacco consumption in Myanmar tobacco users are currently limited. The present study aimed to determine and compare nicotine metabolites serum cotinine, oxidative stress marker serum F2-isoprostane in adult male tobacco users, and to find out relationships between these parameters and risk of metabolic syndrome. This cross-sectional study was done in 30 to 45 years old males: 84 cigarette smokers, 84 cheroot smokers and 84 betel quid with tobacco chewers. Metabolic syndrome was defined by National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III definition. Serum cotinine concentration of cigarette smokers was significantly higher than that of cheroot smokers (p=0.026), however, no significant difference was seen between cigarette smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=1.000), and between cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=0.248). Serum F2-isoprostane concentration was significantly higher (p=0.001) in cigarette smokers than cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers, but no significant difference was observed between cheroot smokers and betel quid with tobacco chewers (p=1.000). Compared with betel quid with tobacco chewers, cigarette smokers had 5.2 times (95% CI, 2.3-11.4) (p
