| Abstract | Introduction Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most prevalent oral inflammatory ulcerative lesions, characterized by painful ulcers that develop on non-keratinized oral mucosa, significantly affecting the quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of RAS and its associated risk factors within the Azar cohort population. Methods This cross-sectional study utilized data from the Azar cohort, which has been ongoing since 2014 in Shabestar City, East Azarbaijan, Iran, involving 15,006 adults aged 35 to 70 years. To assess the prevalence of RAS, participants were provided with a description of these lesions and asked whether they had ever experienced RAS in the oral cavity. Data collection was based on self-reports and examinations conducted by the physicians involved in the Azar cohort. Participants with RAS were classified into the RAS group, while the remaining participants were categorized into the non-RAS group. We assessed the association between RAS and various factors using binary logistic regression. Results In the study population, there were 3,503 individuals in the RAS group and 11,503 individuals in the non-RAS group. The prevalence of RAS in the Azar cohort was 23.34%. Individuals over 50 years of age (p < 0.001), those with a poor (p < 0.001) or very poor (p = 0.02) socio-economic status, a low educational level (p = 0.01), smokers (p < 0.001) and individuals with a history of smoking who have since quit (p = 0.01) were significantly less affected by RAS. Conversely, individuals with genital aphthous lesions (p < 0.001), depression (p < 0.001), rheumatoid disease (p = 0.01), and food allergies (p < 0.001) were significantly more affected by RAS. Conclusions Factors such as being under 50 years of age, possessing a high socioeconomic status, having a higher level of education, experiencing genital aphthous disease, suffering from depression, having rheumatoid disease, and having food allergies may be associated with a higher prevalence of RAS. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
