We used National Performance Evaluation Survey data to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of edentulism among noninstitutionalized adults aged 35 years and older in Mexico. Statistically, the variables positively associated with edentulism were older age (odds ratio [OR]=1.08) and female gender (OR=1.79). Nonsmoking status (OR=0.70) and having a higher wealth index score (OR=0.72) were negatively associated. This information constitutes the first large-scale evaluation in Mexico for one of the World Health Organization's priority oral health problems.
我们利用国家绩效评估调查数据来估算墨西哥35岁及以上非机构化成年人中无牙症的患病率及相关因素。从统计学角度来看,与无牙症呈正相关的变量为年龄较大(比值比[OR]=1.08)和女性(OR=1.79)。不吸烟状态(OR=0.70)和较高的财富指数得分(OR=0.72)呈负相关。这些信息构成了墨西哥针对世界卫生组织重点口腔健康问题之一进行的首次大规模评估。
