Sociodemographic parameters are the driving determinants of oral hygiene practices. This study aims to describe oral hygiene practices and associated sociodemographic factors in the Burkinabè population using the first nationally representative data.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 4677 adults through multistage cluster sampling performed during the first WHO STEPS survey conducted in 2013 in Burkina Faso. The practices we considered were the frequencies of tooth cleaning, fluoridated toothpaste use and dentist visits within the last six months. Sociodemographic variables and oral hygiene practices were described, and the first variables were used as the explanatory variables for the seconds in the multivariable analyses.
Individuals who cleaned teeth at least once a day represented 82.8% and at least twice a day represented 31.4%; 25.6% used fluoridated toothpaste and 2.1% visited a dentist. With the highest odds ratio, only being educated was a favourable factor for each oral hygiene practice. Living in an urban area or being a younger adult were favourable factors for cleaning teeth at least twice a day or the use of a fluoridated paste. Female gender applied more to regular tooth cleaning, as well as to dentist visits.
Cleaning teeth at least once a day was common among Burkinabè, while cleaning at least twice a day, the use of fluoridated paste or dentist visits were infrequent. Education was the key favourable determinant for healthy oral hygiene practices, and improving oral health literacy interventions through basic health education should be promoted.
社会人口统计学参数是口腔卫生习惯的驱动决定因素。本研究旨在利用该国首个具有全国代表性的数据，描述布基纳法索人群的口腔卫生习惯及相关社会人口学因素。
这项描述性横断面研究通过多阶段整群抽样纳入了4677名成年人，该抽样是在2013年于布基纳法索进行的首次世界卫生组织（WHO）“ 全球健康行为危险因素监测（STEPS）”调查期间进行的。我们所考虑的习惯包括在过去六个月内刷牙的频率、使用含氟牙膏的情况以及看牙医的次数。对社会人口统计学变量和口腔卫生习惯进行了描述，并在多变量分析中将前者用作后者的解释变量。
每天至少刷牙一次的人占82.8%，每天至少刷牙两次的人占31.4%；25.6%的人使用含氟牙膏，2.1%的人看过牙医。在各项口腔卫生习惯中，仅受过教育是优势因素，其优势比最高。居住在城市地区或为较年轻的成年人是每天至少刷牙两次或使用含氟牙膏的有利因素。女性更常进行定期刷牙以及看牙医。
在布基纳法索，每天至少刷牙一次很常见，而每天至少刷牙两次、使用含氟牙膏或看牙医的情况并不常见。教育是健康口腔卫生习惯的关键有利决定因素，应通过基础健康教育促进提高口腔健康素养的干预措施。
