OBJECTIVE
To examine dental visits among smoking and nonsmoking adults in a nationally representative sample.
METHODS
Logistic regression analysis was performed, using a sample of 15,250 US adults from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component 2000.
RESULTS
Current smokers were less likely to report dental visits (32.9%) than were nonsmokers (45.0%) during 2000. Differences were statistically significant even after accounting for other predictors of dental care use.
CONCLUSIONS
Efforts to optimize the oral health of smokers and reduce serious oral diseases may benefit from addressing this lower use of dental services among smokers.
目的
在全国代表性样本中研究吸烟和不吸烟成年人的牙科就诊情况。
方法
采用2000年医疗支出小组调查家庭成分中的15250名美国成年人样本进行逻辑回归分析。
结果
2000年期间，当前吸烟者报告牙科就诊的可能性（32.9%）低于不吸烟者（45.0%）。即使在考虑了牙科护理使用的其他预测因素之后，差异仍具有统计学意义。
结论
解决吸烟者牙科服务利用率较低的问题，可能有助于优化吸烟者的口腔健康并减少严重口腔疾病。
