The aim of this study was to estimate prevalence of negative self-rated oral health and associated factors among adults in rural settlements. The probabilistic sample consisted of 557 adults 20 to 59 years of age in rural settlements in Pernambuco State, Brazil. The dependent variable was self-rated oral health, with the following independent variables: demographic characteristics, predisposition and availability of resources, oral health-related behavior, objective oral health conditions, and subjective oral health conditions. Crude and adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using a Poisson regression model. Prevalence of negative self-rated oral health was 70.5%. Negative self-rated oral health was associated with younger age, lower schooling, female gender, and black or brown skin color. Predictors of negative self-rated oral health included skin color, self-defined need for dental care, and the impact of oral health problems on quality of life.
本研究的目的是评估农村居民中成年人自我评定口腔健康状况不佳的患病率及其相关因素。概率样本包括巴西伯南布哥州农村地区557名年龄在20至59岁之间的成年人。因变量是自我评定的口腔健康状况，自变量如下：人口统计学特征、资源的易获得性、与口腔健康相关的行为、客观口腔健康状况和主观口腔健康状况。使用泊松回归模型估计粗患病率和调整患病率。自我评定口腔健康状况不佳的患病率为70.5%。自我评定口腔健康状况不佳与年龄较小、受教育程度较低、女性以及黑色或棕色皮肤有关。自我评定口腔健康状况不佳的预测因素包括肤色、自我定义的牙齿护理需求以及口腔健康问题对生活质量的影响。
