To analyze association between prevalence and severity of dental caries and demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral and oral health status in adolescents.
This was a cross-sectional study with secondary data on 5,558 adolescents examined in the São Paulo State Oral Health Survey in 2015. The zero-inflated negative binomial regression model was used, considering sample weights. Prevalence ratios (PR), ratios of mean (RM) and confidence intervals (CI) were estimated.
Caries prevalence was 71.7%, and was higher in females (PR=1.09 - 95%CI 1.04;1.15), associated with being behind at school (PR=1.11 - 95%CI 1.03;1.18), dental calculus (PR=1.10 - 95%CI 1.01;1.20) and no access to fluoridated water (PR=1.21 - 95%CI 1.01;1.45).
Identification of factors associated with dental caries can instruct the programming of health services aimed at controlling the disease.
分析青少年龋齿流行程度和严重程度与人口统计学、社会经济、行为和口腔健康状况之间的关系。
这是一项横断面研究,使用了 2015 年圣保罗州口腔健康调查中对 5558 名青少年进行的二次数据。采用零膨胀负二项回归模型,考虑样本权重。估计了患病率比(PR)、均值比(RM)和置信区间(CI)。
龋齿患病率为 71.7%,女性患病率更高(PR=1.09-95%CI 1.04;1.15),与学业落后(PR=1.11-95%CI 1.03;1.18)、牙石(PR=1.10-95%CI 1.01;1.20)和未接触氟化水(PR=1.21-95%CI 1.01;1.45)有关。
识别与龋齿相关的因素可以为控制疾病的卫生服务规划提供指导。
