Abstract

in 2030, and 39.0% ABSTRACT Background/Purpose: This study analyzed the correlation between the oral health status, oral discomfort, and oral health behaviors of merchants aged 65 and over belonging to the vulnerable group in Korea. The purpose of study is to provide basic data necessary for establishing oral health promotion programs and oral health policies for the elderly. Methods: We conducted a convenience sampling of 624 elderly 65 years and older in five markets located in Gyeongsnagnam-do, republic of Korea. After confirming the subject’s voluntary participation, 5 public health dentists from community health centers performed dental examination and treatment to assess oral health status (7 questions) and oral discomfort (5 questions), and 5 dental hygienists conducted an interviewer-administered survey with the structured questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic characteristics (9 questions) and oral health behavior (7 questions). Results: Gender ( r =-0.118, p =0.003) and age ( r =-0.173, p <0.001) showed a negative correlation with oral health status. Economic status showed a negative correlation with satisfaction with dental health care (-0.095, p =0.018) and experience of dental health care education (-0.088, p =.029), and showed a positive correlation with oral health status ( r =0.098, p =0.015). Daily activity restriction and oral discomfort ( r =0.106, p =0.008) showed a positive correlation. Subjective oral health condition showed a positive correlation with oral health status ( r =1.08, p =0.007) and oral discomfort ( r =0.198, p <0.001). Conclusion: Establishment of oral health promotion programs, oral health policies, and strategies suitable for the characteristics of the vulnerable elderly people and systematic and specific oral health education are necessary to improve the practice of continuous oral health behavior.

韩国弱势老年人口腔健康状况、口腔不适与口腔健康行为的关系

摘要背景/目的：本研究分析了韩国65岁及以上弱势群体商人的口腔健康状况、口腔不适和口腔健康行为之间的相关性。本研究旨在为制定老年人口腔健康促进计划和口腔健康政策提供必要的基础数据。方法：我们在大韩民国庆尚南道的五个市场对624名65岁及以上的老年人进行了方便抽样。在确认受试者自愿参与后，来自社区卫生中心的5名公共卫生牙医进行了牙科检查和治疗，以评估口腔健康状况（7个问题）和口腔不适（5个问题），5名牙科保健师进行了一项由访谈者管理的调查，该调查采用了由社会人口学特征（9个问题）和口腔健康行为（7个问题）组成的结构化问卷。结果：性别（r=-0.118，p=0.003）和年龄（r=-0.173，p<0.001）与口腔健康状况呈负相关。经济状况与牙科保健满意度（-0.095，p=0.018）和牙科保健教育经历（-0.088，p=0.029）呈负相关，与口腔健康状况呈正相关（r=0.098，p=0.015）。日常活动受限和口腔不适（r=0.106，p=0.008）呈正相关。主观口腔健康状况与口腔健康状况（r=1.08，p=0.007）和口腔不适（r=0.198，p<0.001）呈正相关，针对弱势老年人的特点和策略，进行系统、具体的口腔健康教育，是提高持续口腔健康行为实践水平的必要条件。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
