Abstract

BACKGROUND

This paper examines oral health impacts of toothache experience, self-rated oral health (SROH), being uncomfortable with dental appearance, and avoiding foods in the Australian adult population.

METHODS

The explanatory variables include age, sex, region, income, area-based SES, dental insurance and visiting pattern. The data were collected in the interview in NSAOH 2017-18.

RESULTS

There were lower percentages with: toothache in the highest (14.8%) than middle (21.2%) and lower income tertiles (25.2%); fair/poor SROH in the highest (15.8%) than middle (24.1%) and lower tertiles (34.8%); uncomfortable with appearance in the highest (29.1%) than middle (35.3%) and lower tertiles (42.2%); and food avoidance in the higher (15.3%) than middle (22.9%) and lower tertiles (34.4%). There were higher percentages with: toothache in the unfavourable (32.2%) than intermediate (23.1%) and favourable (11.7%) visiting groups; fair/poor SROH in the unfavourable (44.0%) than intermediate (27.4%) or favourable (10.2%) groups; being uncomfortable about appearance in the unfavourable (47.6%) than intermediate (39.5%) or favourable (25.8%) groups; and avoiding foods in the unfavourable (34.8%) than intermediate (26.0%) or favourable (14.5%) groups.

CONCLUSIONS

Socioeconomic status and dental visiting were associated with oral health impacts. Oral health impacts were worse for those with lower income and unfavourable visiting patterns.

摘要

背景

本文考察了牙痛经历、自我报告的口腔健康状况（SROH）、对牙齿外观感到不适以及澳大利亚成年人避免食用某些食物对口腔健康的影响。

方法

解释变量包括年龄、性别、地区、收入、基于区域的社会经济地位、牙齿保险和就诊模式。数据来自于 2017-18 年 NSAOH 的访谈。

结果

在最高收入组（14.8%）中，有较低比例的人经历过牙痛（21.2%和 25.2%）；在最高收入组（15.8%）中，有较低比例的人自我报告口腔健康状况较差（24.1%和 34.8%）；在最高收入组（29.1%）中，有较低比例的人对牙齿外观感到不适（35.3%和 42.2%）；在较高收入组（15.3%）中，有较低比例的人避免食用某些食物（22.9%和 34.4%）。在不那么有利的就诊组（32.2%）中，有较高比例的人经历过牙痛（23.1%和 11.7%）；在不那么有利的就诊组（44.0%）中，有较高比例的人自我报告口腔健康状况较差（27.4%和 10.2%）；在不那么有利的就诊组（47.6%）中，有较高比例的人对牙齿外观感到不适（39.5%和 25.8%）；在不那么有利的就诊组（34.8%）中，有较高比例的人避免食用某些食物（26.0%和 14.5%）。
