This study aims to determine the prevalence of self-reported tooth grinding among older adult patients at a dental school and to examine the associations between tooth grinding and various demographic and clinical factors.
Data were retrieved from the electronic patient database at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analyses were used to explore associations between tooth grinding and various demographic and clinical factors. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors that were significantly associated with tooth grinding.
Out of 12,550 adults aged 65 years or older, 1598 (12.7%) who responded to the tooth grinding question were included in the analysis, with 853 (53.4%) reporting tooth grinding. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and drug addiction were significantly associated with tooth grinding, with males and those with a history of drug addiction having higher odds.
In this large sample of older adults, self-reported tooth grinding had a high prevalence, with males and those with a history of drug addiction having significantly higher odds of experiencing it.
本研究旨在确定牙科学校老年患者中自我报告的磨牙患病率,并探讨磨牙与各种人口统计学和临床因素之间的关联。
数据从爱荷华大学牙科学院的电子患者数据库中检索。描述性统计和双变量分析用于探讨磨牙与各种人口统计学和临床因素之间的关联。多变量逻辑回归用于确定与磨牙显著相关的因素。
在12550名65岁及以上的成年人中,1598名(12.7%)回答了磨牙问题的人被纳入分析,其中853名(53.4%)报告有磨牙。多变量逻辑回归分析显示,性别和药物成瘾与磨牙显著相关,男性和有药物成瘾史的人患病几率更高。
在这个大量的老年样本中,自我报告的磨牙患病率很高,男性和有药物成瘾史的人经历磨牙的几率显著更高。
