Regional contextual factors and dental caries using multilevel modeling related to adults in minority ethnic groups have been scantily explored. The influence of the socioeconomic context on self-reported dental caries (SRDC) in individuals of minority ethnic groups (IEG) in Colombia was studied. Data from the 2007 National Public Health Survey were collected in 34,843 participants of the population. The influence of different factors on SRDC in IEG was investigated with logistic and multilevel regression analyses. A total of 6440 individuals belonged to an ethnic group. Multilevel analysis showed a significant variance in SRDC that was smaller in IEG level than between states. Multilevel multivariate analysis also associated SRDC with increasing age, lower education level, last dental visit >1 year, unmet dental need and low Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Minority ethnic groups were at risk to report higher dental caries, where low GDP was an important variable to be considered.
利用多水平模型研究与少数族裔成年人相关的区域背景因素和龋齿的研究较少。本研究探讨了社会经济背景对哥伦比亚少数族裔个体自我报告龋齿（SRDC）的影响。2007年全国公共卫生调查收集了34843名参与者的数据。采用逻辑回归和多水平回归分析研究了不同因素对少数族裔个体SRDC的影响。共有6440人属于某个族裔群体。多水平分析显示，SRDC存在显著差异，少数族裔群体水平的差异小于各州之间的差异。多水平多变量分析还将SRDC与年龄增长、教育水平较低、上次牙科就诊时间>1年、未满足的牙科需求和低国内生产总值（GDP）相关联。少数族裔群体报告龋齿率较高的风险较高，其中低GDP是一个需要考虑的重要变量。
