This study aimed to investigate the associations between solid fuel use and oral health and the mediating effects of depressive symptom.
64,521 Indian adults were included in this study. Binary logistic regression was performed to evaluate the associations of solid fuel use with tooth loss, dental cavity, and periodontal disease. Mediating analysis was used to investigate the effects of depressive symptom on the associations between solid fuel use and oral health.
Participants who claimed solid fuel use for cooking exhibited an increased risk of periodontal disease (OR: 1.35, 95% CI: 1.29-1.42) after adjusting for potential confounders. There were no significant associations of solid cooking fuel with tooth loss and dental caries. 7.89% of the relationship between solid fuel use and periodontal disease was mediated by depressive symptom.
The use of solid cooking fuel is associated with the increased prevalence of periodontal disease. Depressive symptom mediates the relationship between solid fuel use and periodontal disease. In the management of oral heath, the adverse impact of solid fuel use should be considered. Future studies should further clarify the mechanisms underlying the association between solid fuel and periodontal disease.
本研究旨在调查固体燃料使用与口腔健康之间的关联以及抑郁症状的中介作用。
本研究纳入了64521名印度成年人。采用二元逻辑回归评估固体燃料使用与牙齿缺失、龋齿和牙周疾病之间的关联。采用中介分析研究抑郁症状对固体燃料使用与口腔健康之间关联的影响。
在调整潜在混杂因素后，声称使用固体燃料烹饪的参与者患牙周疾病的风险增加（比值比：1.35，95%置信区间：1.29 - 1.42）。固体烹饪燃料与牙齿缺失和龋齿之间无显著关联。抑郁症状介导了固体燃料使用与牙周疾病之间7.89%的关系。
使用固体烹饪燃料与牙周疾病患病率增加有关。抑郁症状介导了固体燃料使用与牙周疾病之间的关系。在口腔健康管理中，应考虑固体燃料使用的不利影响。未来的研究应进一步阐明固体燃料与牙周疾病之间关联的潜在机制。
