OBJECTIVES
The aims of this study were to assess predictors of global self-ratings of oral health (GSROH) and to examine whether they varied by age among Korean adults aged 18-95 years.
METHODS
Data from 4,546 adults aged 18-95 years completing the Korean National Oral Health Survey 2006 were included in the analysis.
RESULTS
Subjects' mean age was 43.5 years, with 12.1 percent aged > or = 65 years; 47.8 percent were men; and 2.5 percent were edentulous. The predictors of GSROH in adults were number of missing teeth, concern about oral health, and difficulty in chewing. While wearing removable dentures was associated only in elders, perceived treatment need was associated in younger age groups. The number of decayed and filled teeth was significant only in the 18-44 age group.
CONCLUSIONS
GSROH status was associated with measures of oral disease, oral functional problems, oral health behaviors, concerns, and perceived treatment needs, and it varied by age.
目的
本研究旨在评估韩国 18-95 岁成年人的总体自我口腔健康评定（GSROH）的预测因素，并探讨这些因素是否因年龄而异。
方法
本研究分析了完成 2006 年韩国全国口腔健康调查的 4546 名 18-95 岁成年人的数据。
结果
研究对象的平均年龄为 43.5 岁，其中≥65 岁的占 12.1%；男性占 47.8%；无牙者占 2.5%。成年人 GSROH 的预测因素为失牙数、对口腔健康的关注以及咀嚼困难。可摘义齿的佩戴仅与老年人相关，而治疗需求的感知则与年轻人群相关。龋齿和填充牙数仅在 18-44 岁年龄组有显著意义。
结论
GSROH 状况与口腔疾病、口腔功能问题、口腔健康行为、关注和感知治疗需求等指标相关，且因年龄而异。
