A higher degree of rurality in the geographic location of origin was associated with less desirable oral health features.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The rural/urban divide is significantly associated with oral health impacts of Hispanic/Latinx groups. This may be partly due to the often-lower educational opportunities available and the socioeconomic status in rural areas, in comparison with more affluent urban locations; such disparity is likely to provide fewer opportunities to maintain a healthful status (eg, less access to actionable health maneuvers involving toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss for good oral hygiene; or more limited access to dental offices). The degree of rurality in the location of origin appears to be one element in the complex health disparities landscape.</p>","PeriodicalId":50495,"journal":{"name":"Ethnicity & Disease","volume":"35 3","pages":"107-112"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12424136/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145066606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
