The purpose of this study was to evaluate associations between periodontal diseases and the common risk factors in Ilala, Tanzania. To determine behavioural and socioeconomic background, a total of 1764 subjects (827 males and 937 females) aged 3-84 years were randomly selected and interviewed. The subjects were examined clinically for the presence of plaque, calculus, gingival inflammation, periodontal probing depths and gingival recessions. Logistic regression analyses showed that the risk factors for gingivitis were male sex, presence of plaque or calculus and use of local "mswaki", the risk factors for periodontal pockets were age of 35 years or more, presence of plaque, and rural residence. The risk factors for gingival recession were identified as age of 35 years or more, male sex, lower educational status, presence of plaque and gingival inflammation. The most significant risk factors to have periodontal diseases in this study population were age, sex, education, rural residence, plaque and calculus.
本研究的目的是评估坦桑尼亚伊拉拉地区牙周疾病与常见风险因素之间的关联。为确定行为和社会经济背景，随机选取了1764名年龄在3至84岁之间的受试者（827名男性和937名女性）并进行访谈。对受试者进行临床检查，以确定是否存在牙菌斑、牙结石、牙龈炎症、牙周探诊深度和牙龈退缩。逻辑回归分析表明，牙龈炎的风险因素为男性、存在牙菌斑或牙结石以及使用当地的“mswaki”；牙周袋的风险因素为35岁及以上、存在牙菌斑以及居住在农村；牙龈退缩的风险因素被确定为35岁及以上、男性、教育程度较低、存在牙菌斑和牙龈炎症。在该研究人群中，患牙周疾病的最显著风险因素是年龄、性别、教育程度、农村居住情况、牙菌斑和牙结石。
