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<0.001) and cheroot smokers had 1.4 times (95% CI, 0.62-3.3) (p=0.402) higher risk of having metabolic syndrome. There was a significant association between the presence of metabolic syndrome and high serum cotinine as well as high serum F2-isoprostane. A significant correlation between serum cotinine and serum F2-isoprostane was found in betel quid with tobacco chewers, but not in cigarette smokers and cheroot smokers. The present study showed that both nicotine and oxidative stress take part in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. Cigarette smoking has the highest risk of having metabolic syndrome, however, cheroot smoking as well as betel quid with tobacco chewing is related to metabolic syndrome as well.
