This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the self-perceived oral health of young university students at the Federal University of Juiz de Fora and identify the associated factors. Data were collected in 2021 using a self-administered questionnaire containing questions on students' sociodemographic variables and oral health. Binary logistic regression was applied in the multivariate analysis using the SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) software (version 20.0) for Windows. The final analysis included 1,316 students aged 17-24 years. The prevalence of negative self-perception of oral health was 14.1% (95%CI: 12.2-16.0). The following variables were associated with negative self-perception of oral health: single marital status (OR = 0.34; 95%CI: 0.12-0.98), monthly family income of up to three minimum wages (OR = 2.02; 95%CI: 1.32-3.09), non-regular use of dental services (OR = 2.29; 95%CI: 1.48-3.53), dissatisfaction with the last service (OR = 1.97; 95%CI: 1.23-3.16), fear of dental treatment (OR = 1.56; 95%CI: 1.06-2.29), dissatisfaction with the appearance of teeth and mouth (OR = 5.27; 95%CI: 3.37-8.22), and perceived need for dental treatment (OR = 6.94; 95%CI:3.14-15.33). In conclusion, most young university students had a positive self-perception of oral health. However, factors related to socioeconomic profile, access to oral health services, and satisfaction with one's appearance were found to increase the likelihood of having a negative self-perception of oral health.
这项横断面研究旨在分析茹伊斯迪福拉联邦大学青年大学生的自我认知口腔健康状况，并确定相关因素。2021年使用一份自填式问卷收集数据，问卷包含有关学生社会人口统计学变量和口腔健康的问题。使用适用于Windows的SPSS（社会科学统计软件包）软件（版本20.0）进行多变量分析时应用了二元逻辑回归。最终分析纳入了1316名年龄在17至24岁之间的学生。口腔健康自我认知负面的患病率为14.1%（95%置信区间：12.2 - 16.0）。以下变量与口腔健康自我认知负面相关：单身婚姻状况（比值比 = 0.34；95%置信区间：0.12 - 0.98）、家庭月收入至多为三个最低工资标准（比值比 = 2.02；95%置信区间：1.32 - 3.09）、不定期使用牙科服务（比值比 = 2.29；95%置信区间：1.48 - 3.53）、对上次服务不满意（比值比 = 1.97；95%置信区间：1.23 - 3.16）、害怕牙科治疗（比值比 = 1.56；95%置信区间：1.06 - 2.29）、对牙齿和口腔外观不满意（比值比 = 5.27；95%置信区间：3.37 - 8.22）以及认为需要牙科治疗（比值比 = 6.94；95%置信区间：3.14 - 15.33）。总之，大多数青年大学生对口腔健康有积极的自我认知。然而，发现与社会经济状况、获得口腔健康服务的机会以及对自身外貌的满意度相关的因素会增加口腔健康自我认知负面的可能性。
