Abstract

This study aimed to assess the link between fast-food consumption and oral health outcomes as measured by the mean number of decayed, missing due to dental disease, or filled permanent teeth (DMFT) and teeth with untreated dental caries. This study utilized data obtained from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES). The data used was collected from 11,288 participants aged 20 and above from 2015 to 2018. The frequency of fast-food consumption was divided into two groups: “less than two meals over the past seven days” and “two meals or more over the past seven days.” The mean number of DMFT and teeth with untreated dental caries were used to assess the participants’ oral health. The link between fast-food consumption and these mean values was explored using Poisson regression analysis, in which confounding variables such as income, race, age, and sex were adjusted for. After adjusting for these variables, the results revealed that individuals who reported consuming two or more fast-food meals during the preceding seven days had higher mean numbers of DMFT and teeth with untreated dental caries compared to those who consumed less than two fast-food meals during the same period (adjusted mean ratio = 1.05; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.10 and mean ratio = 1.22; 95 % CI 1.01–1.47, respectively). Conclusion: This study revealed a link between poor oral health outcomes and fast-food consumption. Consequently, public health officials must focus on fast-food settings and availability of high-sugar-content items. Interventions that target fast-food outlets and what they offer may have a positive impact on oral health.

美国成年人的快餐消费及其与口腔健康的关系:基于 NHANES 的横断面研究
本研究旨在评估快餐消费与口腔健康结果之间的联系,口腔健康结果以蛀牙、因牙病缺失或补过的恒牙(DMFT)和龋齿未治疗的牙齿的平均数量来衡量。这项研究利用的数据来自美国国家健康与营养调查(NHANES)。所使用的数据收集自2015年至2018年20岁及以上的11288名参与者。快餐消费频率分为两组:"过去七天内少于两餐 "和 "过去七天内两餐或两餐以上"。DMFT和龋齿未治疗牙齿的平均数量用于评估参与者的口腔健康状况。采用泊松回归分析法探讨了快餐消费与这些平均值之间的联系,并对收入、种族、年龄和性别等混杂变量进行了调整。在对这些变量进行调整后,结果显示,在前七天内食用两顿或两顿以上快餐的人与同期食用少于两顿快餐的人相比,DMFT 的平均值和未治疗龋齿的牙齿数量更高(调整后的平均比值比 = 1.05;95 % 置信区间 [CI] 1.01-1.10 和平均比值比 = 1.22;95 % 置信区间 [CI] 1.01-1.47)。结论这项研究揭示了不良口腔健康后果与快餐消费之间的联系。因此,公共卫生官员必须关注快餐店的环境和高糖食品的供应情况。针对快餐店及其所提供食品的干预措施可能会对口腔健康产生积极影响。
