This study aimed to verify the relationship between handgrip strength and oral health using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, representing Korean adults. Data from the seventh survey (2016−2018) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were utilized, and 10,607 final study participants were recruited according to the selection and exclusion criteria. A complex sample logistic regression analysis was performed to confirm the relationship between handgrip strength and dental caries according to the sex of the study participants. On analyzing the correlation in men, “C1 (DMFT: 11−32),” when compared to “C4 (DMFT: 0−3),” in Model 1 without adjustment for potential confounders, was 2.92 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.15−3.97) times more likely to be associated with lower handgrip strength, and a statistically significant result was detected (p < 0.001). Additionally, significant odds ratios (ORs) were confirmed for all adjusted models. In women, the ORs in Model 1 without adjustment for potential confounders were 1.41 times (95% CI: 1.14−1.75) and demonstrated a significant result; however, the results were not significant in all adjusted models 2−4. Resultantly, a significant association was detected between dental caries and handgrip strength in Korean adults.
本研究旨在利用代表韩国成年人的韩国国民健康营养调查（Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey）的数据，验证握力与口腔健康之间的关系。研究采用了韩国疾病控制与预防中心（Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention）进行的第七次调查（2016-2018 年）的数据，根据选择和排除标准，最终招募了 10607 名研究参与者。采用复杂样本逻辑回归分析，根据研究参与者的性别，确认握力与龋齿之间的关系。在分析男性的相关性时，与模型 1 中未经调整潜在混杂因素的“C4（DMFT：0-3）”相比，“C1（DMFT：11-32）”更有可能与较低的握力相关，且具有统计学意义（p<0.001）。此外，所有调整模型均证实了显著的优势比（OR）。在女性中，模型 1 中未经调整潜在混杂因素的 OR 为 1.41 倍（95%置信区间：1.14-1.75），结果具有统计学意义；然而，在所有调整模型 2-4 中，结果并不显著。因此，在韩国成年人中，龋齿与握力之间存在显著关联。
