To evaluate the association between oral health behavior and multiple chronic diseases among middle-aged and older adults.
We obtained data of the Beijing Health Service Survey and used multivariate logistic models to estimate the association between oral hygiene behavior and the risk of chronic diseases.
The risk of any chronic diseases (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.18-1.37), cardiovascular diseases (CVD, OR = 1.30, 95% CI: 1.21-1.39), and endocrine or nutritional metabolic disorders (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01-1.22) was higher in those who with poor oral health behavior. There was no significant correlation between oral health behavior and the risk of diseases of the musculoskeletal, respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary systems.
Poor oral hygiene practices were associated with higher risk of chronic diseases, CVD and diabetes mellitus (DM) among middle-aged and older adults. These findings motivate further studies to evaluate whether improved oral health behavior may prevent the incidence of chronic diseases.
评估中年及以上人群的口腔卫生行为与多种慢性病之间的关联。
我们获取了北京市卫生服务调查的数据，并使用多变量逻辑回归模型来估计口腔卫生行为与慢性病风险之间的关联。
口腔卫生行为较差者罹患任何一种慢性病（OR=1.27，95%CI：1.18-1.37）、心血管疾病（CVD，OR=1.30，95%CI：1.21-1.39）和内分泌或营养代谢紊乱（OR=1.11，95%CI：1.01-1.22）的风险更高。然而，口腔卫生行为与肌肉骨骼、呼吸、消化和泌尿生殖系统疾病的风险之间没有显著相关性。
较差的口腔卫生习惯与中年及以上人群的慢性病、心血管疾病和糖尿病（DM）风险升高有关。这些发现促使进一步研究评估改善口腔卫生习惯是否可能预防慢性病的发生。
