To estimate the discrepancies between global ratings of oral health and general health and investigate the factors associated with self-rated oral health (SROH) and self-rated general health (SRGH).
Data were collected from 502 participants aged 18 to 81 years. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain data regarding sociodemographic characteristics and self-reported conditions. Global self-ratings of oral health and general health were the main outcomes. Discrepancies between self-ratings of oral health and general health were stratified by independent variables. Bayesian ordinal logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the posterior distributions of parameters and 95% credible intervals (95% CrI).
The proportion of participants who rated their oral health worse than general health was 28.6% (95% CrI: 24.7-32.3). Negative discrepancies between SROH and SRGH were associated with being men, reporting gingivitis, and lower income. Sex (95% CrI: 1.12-2.25) impacted only on SRGH. Income (SROH - 95% CrI: 1.52-6.40; SRGH - 95% CrI: 1.08-4.56), tertiary education (SROH - 95% CrI: 1.13-2.53; SRGH - 95% CrI: 1.01-2.32), self-reported missing teeth (SROH - 95% CrI: 1.57-3.46; SRGH - 95% CrI: 2.21-4.92), self-reported gingivitis (SROH - 95% CrI: 1.10-2.40; SRGH - 95% CrI: 1.71-3.82), and self-reported chronic health problem (SROH - 95% CrI: 1.38-3.08; SRGH - 95% CrI: 1.61-3.59) impacted on both outcomes.
Substantial discrepancies between self-rated oral health and self-rated general health were found and were associated with being male, reporting gingivitis, and having lower income.
评估口腔健康和总体健康的全球评分之间的差异，并探讨与自我报告的口腔健康（SROH）和自我报告的总体健康（SRGH）相关的因素。
数据来自 502 名年龄在 18 至 81 岁的参与者。使用结构化问卷获取社会人口统计学特征和自我报告状况的数据。主要结局是全球自我评估的口腔健康和总体健康。根据自变量对口腔健康自我评估和总体健康自我评估之间的差异进行分层。使用贝叶斯有序逻辑回归模型估计参数的后验分布和 95%可信区间（95%CrI）。
有 28.6%（95%CrI：24.7-32.3）的参与者报告其口腔健康自评差于总体健康自评。SROH 和 SRGH 之间存在负向差异，与男性、报告牙龈炎和收入较低有关。性别（95%CrI：1.12-2.25）仅影响 SRGH。收入（SROH-95%CrI：1.52-6.40；SRGH-95%CrI：1.08-4.56）、高等教育（SROH-95%CrI：1.13-2.53；SRGH-95%CrI：1.01-2.32）、自我报告缺失牙齿（SROH-95%CrI：1.57-3.46；SRGH-95%CrI：2.21-4.92）、自我报告牙龈炎（SROH-95%CrI：1.10-2.40；SRGH-95%CrI：1.71-3.82）和自我报告慢性健康问题（SROH-95%CrI：1.38-3.08；SRGH-95%CrI：1.61-3.59）均影响这两个结局。
自我报告的口腔健康和自我报告的总体健康之间存在显著差异，与男性、报告牙龈炎和收入较低有关。
