To evaluate the relationship between self-rated oral health, subjective oral conditions, oral health behaviours, and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in Chinese college students.
An online cross-sectional survey was conducted, inviting college students from eastern China to participate. A total of 1708 participants were included. A structural equation model was constructed to explain and assess the associations among self-rated oral health, subjective oral conditions, oral health behaviours, and OHRQoL.
Self-rated oral health had a direct positive effect on subjective oral conditions and OHRQoL. Oral health behaviours had direct negative impacts on subjective oral conditions and OHRQoL as well as on tooth condition perception and oral health interventions. Subjective oral conditions had a direct positive effect on OHRQoL. There was a positive correlation between oral health behaviours and self-rated oral health. In addition, subjective oral conditions partially mediated both the effect of oral health behaviours on OHRQoL and the effect of self-rated oral health on OHRQoL.
There were influential associations between self-rated oral health, subjective oral conditions, oral health behaviours, and OHRQoL among college students in eastern China. Making the most of their association can be a guide to radically improving the oral health of college students.
评估中国大学生自评口腔健康、主观口腔状况、口腔健康行为与口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）之间的关系。
开展了一项在线横断面调查，邀请中国东部地区的大学生参与。共纳入1708名参与者。构建了一个结构方程模型来解释和评估自评口腔健康、主观口腔状况、口腔健康行为与OHRQoL之间的关联。
自评口腔健康对主观口腔状况和OHRQoL有直接的正向影响。口腔健康行为对主观口腔状况、OHRQoL以及牙齿状况感知和口腔健康干预有直接的负面影响。主观口腔状况对OHRQoL有直接的正向影响。口腔健康行为与自评口腔健康之间存在正相关。此外，主观口腔状况部分介导了口腔健康行为对OHRQoL的影响以及自评口腔健康对OHRQoL的影响。
中国东部地区大学生的自评口腔健康、主观口腔状况、口腔健康行为与OHRQoL之间存在显著关联。充分利用它们之间的关联可为从根本上改善大学生口腔健康提供指导。
