The aim of this study was to assess differences in oral health and dental behaviour in a cohort of five-year-old children born in 1982 and a cohort of eleven-year-old children born in 1976, in different ethnic and socio-economic groups, in the period from 1987 to 1990. To this end a secondary analysis was performed on data collected in a study monitoring the oral health of sick fund insured youths in The Netherlands. Large differences in dental health and dental health behaviour were found between ethnic and socio-economic strata. Thus, in the 1982 cohort, the caries prevalence and incidence were highest in the stratum of children of Turkish or Moroccan mothers with a low or unknown education. In the 1976 cohort, the caries prevalence and incidence were highest in children of Dutch parents with a low or unknown education. It is concluded that both stratification variables were caries risk indicators.
本研究的目的是评估1982年出生的一组五岁儿童和1976年出生的一组十一岁儿童在1987年至1990年期间，不同种族和社会经济群体在口腔健康和牙齿行为方面的差异。为此，对荷兰一项监测疾病基金参保青年口腔健康的研究中收集的数据进行了二次分析。在种族和社会经济阶层之间发现了牙齿健康和牙齿健康行为的巨大差异。因此，在1982年的队列中，土耳其或摩洛哥母亲且教育程度低或不明的儿童阶层的龋齿患病率和发病率最高。在1976年的队列中，荷兰父母且教育程度低或不明的儿童的龋齿患病率和发病率最高。得出的结论是，这两个分层变量都是龋齿风险指标。
