Given the limited comprehension of the indigenous oral health profile, this study proposed to understand the self-perception of oral health of this population group. This study aimed to verify the association of oral health's self-perceived impact on daily living with sociodemographic and oral health characteristics among indigenous people aged 10 to 14 years of the Xukuru do Ororubá ethnic group, in Pesqueira (PE), Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study conducted from January to March 2010, involving oral examinations and questionnaires applied to 233 indigenous belonging to the age group. Using the latent class analysis model, the variable "oral health impact" was created and applied to simple and multiple logistic regression models. The results pointed out that villages with the highest mean of households and indigenous people with caries experience evidenced worse self-perception, increasing the "oral health impact" 2.37 and 3.95 times, respectively. The Latent Class Analysis was an excellent strategy for understanding the self-perception of indigenous oral health and its relationship with associated factors.
鉴于对本土口腔健康状况的了解有限，本研究旨在了解该人群对口腔健康的自我认知。本研究旨在验证 Xukuru do Ororubá 族 10 至 14 岁土著居民的口腔健康自我感知对日常生活的影响与社会人口学和口腔健康特征之间的关联，该研究于 2010 年 1 月至 3 月在巴西佩斯奎拉进行，涉及口腔检查和问卷调查，涉及 233 名属于该年龄组的土著人。使用潜在类别分析模型，创建了“口腔健康影响”变量，并应用于简单和多元逻辑回归模型。结果表明，家庭平均收入最高的村庄和有龋齿经历的土著居民自我感知更差，分别使“口腔健康影响”增加了 2.37 倍和 3.95 倍。潜在类别分析是理解土著人口腔健康自我认知及其与相关因素关系的一种极好策略。
