The dental status with respect to number of missing teeth and proximal periodontal bone height in relation to social factors were studied in a population sample of women 38-60 years of age. There was an overrepresentation of edentulous women among those who had grown up in a rural area, who had low education, and in those who belonged to a low socio-economic group (irrespective of whether the socio-economic group of the women themselves or of their husbands was studied), while no obvious differences were observed when the proximal periodontal bone height was studied in relation to social factors. The relationships between social factors and number of missing teeth seemed to be stronger than between social factors and any other variable included in the comprehensive population study, of which this examination of the dental status was one of a number of research projects.
在一个38至60岁女性的人口样本中，研究了与社会因素相关的缺牙数量和近中牙周骨高度的牙齿状况。在农村长大、受教育程度低以及属于低社会经济群体的女性（无论研究的是女性自身还是其丈夫的社会经济群体）中，无牙女性的比例过高，而在研究近中牙周骨高度与社会因素的关系时，未观察到明显差异。社会因素与缺牙数量之间的关系似乎比社会因素与综合人群研究中包含的任何其他变量之间的关系更强，对牙齿状况的这项检查是众多研究项目之一。
