Abstract

Purpose: The relationship between the number of chronic diseases and oral health problems is unclear. We sought to determine whether the number of chronic diseases and multimorbidity have an association with oral health problems in Korean adults.

Materials and methods: Data from 23,246 adults aged ≥ 19 years, who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2016 to 2019, were considered for our analyses. Participants with either masticatory or speech problems were defined as the oral health problems group. Individuals who reported having had dental treatment in the last year were defined as the dental treatment group. We used multivariable logistic regression analyses to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: The proportions of oral health problems and dental treatment were higher in participants with multimorbidity than in those without multimorbidity (all p < 0.001). Moreover, ORs of oral health problems demonstrated a tendency to increase with the number of chronic diseases, even after adjustment (p for trend < 0.001). Compared to the participants without multimorbidity, the risk of having oral health problems increased by 25% (OR: 1.25, 95% CI: 1.12-1.39), and that of receiving dental treatment increased by 23% (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.13-1.34) in patients with multimorbidity.

Conclusion: The risk of oral health problems and dental treatment increased in association with the number of chronic diseases in Korean adults. The authors emphasise the risks and importance of oral health in a large population affected by multiple chronic diseases.

韩国成年人的慢性病数量与口腔健康问题之间的关系。

目的：慢性病数量与口腔健康问题之间的关系尚不明确。我们试图确定韩国成年人的慢性病数量和多病症是否与口腔健康问题有关：我们的分析考虑了 23246 名年龄≥ 19 岁的成年人的数据，他们参加了 2016 年至 2019 年韩国国民健康与营养调查。有咀嚼或语言问题的参与者被定义为口腔健康问题组。报告在过去一年中接受过牙科治疗的人被定义为牙科治疗组。我们使用多变量逻辑回归分析来计算几率比（ORs）和 95% 的置信区间（CIs）：有多病症的参与者口腔健康问题和牙科治疗的比例均高于无多病症的参与者（均 p < 0.001）。此外，即使经过调整，口腔健康问题的OR值也显示出随慢性病数量增加而增加的趋势（趋势P < 0.001）。与无多病症的参与者相比，多病症患者出现口腔健康问题的风险增加了 25%（OR：1.25，95% CI：1.12-1.39），接受牙科治疗的风险增加了 23%（OR：1.23，95% CI：1.13-1.34）：结论：韩国成年人出现口腔健康问题和接受牙科治疗的风险随着慢性病数量的增加而增加。作者强调了口腔健康在受多种慢性疾病影响的庞大人群中的风险和重要性。
