This study aimed to determine the potential association between the dental diseases and self-reported history of stroke in the United States based on data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III).
Data were extracted from NHANES III. Dental variables were carious tooth surfaces, number of missing teeth, gingival bleeding, and periodontal pockets. Multiple logistic regression modeling was used to estimate the effect of these dental diseases on the self-reported history of stroke with intent to adjust for the other potential determinants: age, sex, race, marital status, health insurance, education, exercise, body mass index, smoking, alcohol, hypertension, high serum cholesterol, and diabetes.
Number of missing teeth was found to be significantly associated with the self-reported history of stroke. Associations between the self-reported history of stroke and caries, gingival bleeding, or periodontal pockets were not statistically significant.
Number of missing teeth was an independent determinant of the self-reported history of stroke.
本研究旨在根据第三次国家健康和营养检查调查(NHANES III)的数据,确定美国牙科疾病与自我报告的中风病史之间的潜在关联。
从 NHANES III 中提取数据。牙科变量包括龋齿牙面、缺牙数、牙龈出血和牙周袋。使用多变量逻辑回归模型来估计这些牙科疾病对自我报告的中风病史的影响,旨在调整其他潜在决定因素:年龄、性别、种族、婚姻状况、医疗保险、教育程度、运动、体重指数、吸烟、饮酒、高血压、高血清胆固醇和糖尿病。
发现缺牙数与自我报告的中风病史显著相关。自我报告的中风病史与龋齿、牙龈出血或牙周袋之间没有统计学意义的关联。
缺牙数是自我报告的中风病史的一个独立决定因素。
