Oral health of older Koreans by region and family status in 2020-2021.
Objective: To describe the oral health of older people by region and family status using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey.
Background: As the ageing of Korean society intensifies, health inequalities based on region and family status are also deepening.
Methods: Data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2020-2021) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used, and a total of 3437 older people aged 65 or older were selected as study participants. Chewing discomfort and oral health behaviours were assessed by region and family status using multivariable logistic regression analysis with the complex sample survey design.
Results: We found an association between living alone and greater chewing discomfort. Residing in rural areas was also associated with a higher prevalence of this. In urban areas, chewing discomfort was 1.27 times higher among older people living alone than in those not living alone, while in rural areas, the discomfort was 1.52 times higher among the older people who lived alone.
Conclusions: Region and family status were associated with greater chewing discomfort in older people. In Korean society, where the number of single-person older people households is increasing, along with the ageing population, attention to resolving the disparities in oral health in older people is needed.
期刊介绍:
The ultimate aim of Gerodontology is to improve the quality of life and oral health of older people. The boundaries of most conventional dental specialties must be repeatedly crossed to provide optimal dental care for older people. In addition, management of other health problems impacts on dental care and clinicians need knowledge in these numerous overlapping areas. Bringing together these diverse topics within one journal serves clinicians who are seeking to read and to publish papers across a broad spectrum of specialties. This journal provides the juxtaposition of papers from traditional specialties but which share this patient-centred interest, providing a synergy that serves progress in the subject of gerodontology.
