Abstract

Objectives: Oral health plays an important role in determining quality of life, general health, and well-being in both children and adults. The wide variation in oral health status around the world is determined by multiple factors, including oral health behaviour (OHB). The aim of this study was to explore the association of some demographic factors with OHB in children aged 5 to 17 in Algeria.

Methods: Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data involving all children aged 5 to 17 in the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey database, conducted in 2018-2019 (MICS-6), i.e., 17019 children (8882 boys and 8137 girls). Using a logistic regression model, we assessed the contribution of different demographic, economic, and geographical factors to children's OHB.

Results: The overall prevalence of good oral hygiene practices was 9.32% (8.30% for boys and 10.36% for girls). The main factors associated with good OHB were gender (OR=1.27 [95% CI = 1.135-1.437]), residence (OR=0.641 [0.553-0.742]), geographical area particularly in the southern and highlands regions (OR=0.369; [0.28-0.48]), older age, mother's level of education (OR=2.61 [2.12-3.21]), employment status, and economic level (OR=3.30 [2.64-4.12]).

Conclusions: The identification of factors related to OHB in children is of great interest in developing countries such as Algeria, to adopt planned and targeted health promoting interventions for children, adolescents, and parents.

阿尔及利亚 5-17 岁儿童口腔健康行为的相关人口因素。

目的：口腔健康在决定儿童和成人的生活质量、总体健康和福祉方面发挥着重要作用。世界各地口腔健康状况的巨大差异是由包括口腔健康行为（OHB）在内的多种因素决定的。本研究旨在探讨阿尔及利亚 5 至 17 岁儿童的一些人口因素与口腔健康行为的关系：对 2018-2019 年进行的多指标类集调查数据库（MICS-6）中所有 5 至 17 岁儿童（即 17019 名儿童（8882 名男孩和 8137 名女孩））的横截面数据进行二次分析。利用逻辑回归模型，我们评估了不同人口、经济和地理因素对儿童口腔健康状况的影响：结果：良好口腔卫生习惯的总体流行率为 9.32%（男孩为 8.30%，女孩为 10.36%）。与良好口腔卫生习惯相关的主要因素是性别（OR=1.27 [95% CI = 1.135-1.437]）、居住地（OR=0.641 [0.553-0.742]）、地理区域（尤其是南部和高原地区）（OR=0.369；[0.28-0.48]）、年龄、母亲的教育水平（OR=2.61 [2.12-3.21]）、就业状况和经济水平（OR=3.30 [2.64-4.12]）：在阿尔及利亚等发展中国家，确定与儿童酗酒相关的因素对采取有计划、有针对性的促进儿童、青少年和家长健康的干预措施具有重要意义。

期刊介绍： The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society. The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as: -oral epidemiology- oral health services research- preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities- oral health education and promotion- clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups- behavioural sciences related to dentistry- decision theory- quality of life- risk analysis- ethics and oral health economics- quality assessment. The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
