Background: Childhood obesity and dental caries are prevalent chronic, multifactorial conditions with adverse health consequences and considerable healthcare costs. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the relationship between obesity and dental caries among young children using multiple definitions for both conditions, and (2) to evaluate the role of family socioeconomic status (SES) and the child’s intake of added sugars in explaining t…
Complete Tooth Loss and Allostatic Load Changes Later in Life
OBJECTIVE: There is little evidence of the association between complete tooth loss and allostatic load (AL). We investigated, firstly, the association between complete tooth loss and changes in AL for 12 years among older English adults. A second aim was to explore the role of fruit and vegetable consumption in explaining the aforementioned association. METHODS: AL was calculated for 2430 English Longitudinal Study of Ageing cohort (2004/5-2016/1…
The Intersections of Ethnicity, Nativity Status and Socioeconomic Position in Relation to Periodontal Status
The role of migration as a social determinant of periodontitis has been overlooked. Intersectionality theory could help understand how immigration status interacts with other social determinants of health to engender inequalities in periodontitis. The objective of the present study was to evaluate whether ethnicity, nativity status and socioeconomic position intersect to structure social inequalities in periodontal status. Data from 1936 adults i…
Functional dentition and changes in dietary patterns among older adults in Thailand
Objective: To investigate the relationship between functional dentition (FD) and changes in dietary patterns (DP) in older adults. Design: This was a 12-month prospective study, with dental examinations at baseline and questionnaires at baseline and follow-up. Dentition was classified as FD (containing ≥10 occlusal contacts), non-FD with dentures and non-FD without dentures. A 154-item FFQ assessed dietary intake in the previous month. Food items…

Structure of the sense of coherence scale in a nationally representative sample
Assessing Levels of Agreement between Two Commonly Used Oral Health‐Related Quality of Life Measures
There was a moderate level of agreement between OHIP14 and OIDP, which may be partly due to the fact that both OHRQoL measures assess different levels of oral impacts on quality of life in addition to having different scoring systems
Comparison of the Generic and Condition‐Specific Forms of the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (Oidp) Index
Although generic and condition-specific OIDP forms were able to discriminate adolescents with normative need for orthodontic treatment from those without such a need, CS-OIDP attributed to malocclusion had better ability to distinguish between groups. Further studies are needed to compare discriminative ability of both OIDP forms between groups with different levels of other oral conditions
Relationship between dental status and Oral Impacts on Daily Performances in older Southern Chinese people
Clinical dental status indicators were related to OIDP, regardless of the scoring format used to calculate the OIDP index. Clinical indicators that included natural plus replaced teeth were more strongly associated with the OIDP index than their corresponding indicators that included only natural teeth
