This study applied the visual instrument to 292 elementary schoolchildren in Saitama Prefecture to assess the level of oral health literacy and investigate relationships between oral health literacy and age, gender, and oral health habits. A self-administered questionnaire survey investigated self-perceived oral health, brushing frequency, and frequency of sweet food and drink intake. Subjects drew their anterior dentition and gingivae using a hand mirror, and the drawings were scored according to set criteria. Subjects were split into three age groups: younger, middle, and older. Oral health literacy increased as age group ascended. Tooth drawings had higher scores than gingival drawings in all age groups (p < 0.001). In older schoolchildren, females had higher scores than males (p < 0.01), and more frequent tooth brushing was associated with higher scores (p < 0.05). In younger children, more frequent consumption of sweet food was related to lower gingival scores (p < 0.05). The findings suggest that this instrument is appropriate for assessing oral health literacy in elementary school children, but for gingival drawings may be best suited to children aged 10 or above, due to limited drawing ability.","PeriodicalId":236364,"journal":{"name":"Primary Care Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132160506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases (RMDs) are a highly diverse group of diseases and conditions, that can present in people of any age, including children. They are one of the leading causes of disability, affecting not only the joints, but almost any organ of the body [1,2]. Recently, a European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)-American College of Rheumatology working group acknowledged that there is still lack of awareness regarding the complexity and importance of RMDs in the community [1]. Despite tremendous progress in early diagnosis and therapeutics of RMDs that has been achieved, various unmet needs remain, and significant consequences emerge at individual or societal level [3]. The role of Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) is strongly encouraged towards the direction of rigorous detection and referral to specialist, as well as, the co-management of comorbidities and other preventive measures, recommended for patients diagnosed with RMDs [4].","PeriodicalId":236364,"journal":{"name":"Primary Care Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127531471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to determine prevalence and associated factors of walking disability among adults aged 18 and above. Method: National Health and Morbidity Survey (NHMS) is a cross-sectional survey (two-stage stratified sample) designed to collect health information on a nationally representative sample of the Malaysian adult’s population. Data were obtained via face-to-face interviews using validated questionnaire based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG). Data obtained were analysed using SPSS 20. Result: Prevalence of Malaysian adult having at least some difficulty in walking is 11.3% (95% CI: 10.65, 12.00). In general, five socio demographic variables: Rural, Female, Elderly age 61 and above, Widower and Have no formal education were statistically significant in having at least some difficulty in walking varying from 13.9% to 41.6% of significant level. Based on logistic regression, elderly age 61 and above [AOR=13.60; 95%CI: (10.12,18.28)], Female [AOR = 1.27; 95%-CI = (1.12, 1.43)], Have no formal education [AOR = 1.82 ; 95%-CI = (1.42,2.34)], Having diabetes mellitus [AOR = 1.51 ; 95%-CI = (1.33,1.70)] and Having hypertension [AOR = 1.33; 95%-CI = (1.18,1.51)] were more odd to have walking disabilities. Conclusion: Findings show co-morbidities could be one of the contributors to disability in walking besides aging. Understanding cause and effects of disability among adult would help in improvement of effective prevention of disabilities in Malaysian Adult.","PeriodicalId":236364,"journal":{"name":"Primary Care Epidemiology and Global Health","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133834021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
