Oral health literacy and oral health status of a german adult population with migration background – findings from the MuMi Study
Access Barriers to Dental Treatment and Prevention for Turkish Migrants in Germany – A Qualitative Survey
Introduction: The worldwide migration movement is growing and thereby challenging the health care systems of immigration countries like Germany to make health care equally accessible for all people.

Data regarding dental care access barriers of this group is limited. Therefore, the following study established …
Does Oral Health-Related Quality of Life Differ by Income Group? Findings from a Nationally Representative Survey

Evidence from the Hamburg City Health Study – association between education and periodontitis

Postponed Dental Appointments Due to Costs Are Associated with Increased Loneliness—Evidence from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe
As is already well known, demographic changes will presumably lead to a rising number of old aged individuals and loneliness is a tremendous concern in aging populations. Poor health can be a potential consequence of loneliness, as well as a determining factor. Thus, the objective of the current study was to determine whether postponed dental appointments due to costs affect loneliness longitudinally. Focusing on Germany, data from two waves (wav…
Association between Subjective Well-Being and Frequent Dental Visits in the German Ageing Survey
The relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) and frequent attendance is understudied. This study used data from a large German sample of non-institutionalized individuals aged 40+ in 2014 ( n = 7264). SWB was measured using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Number of self-reported dental visits in the past twelve months was used to measure the utilization frequency of dental ser…
Determinants of Postponed Dental Visits Due to Costs
High costs are an important reason patients postpone dental visits, which can lead to serious medical consequences. However, little is known about the determinants of postponing visits due to financial constraints longitudinally. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the determinants of postponing dental visits due to costs in older adults in Germany longitudinally. Data from wave 5 and 6 of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement i…
Oral health-related quality of life of children and adolescents with and without migration background in Germany
Oral health and access to dental care – a comparison of elderly migrants and non-migrants in Germany
Elderly German migrants have higher treatment needs than non-migrants. Likely causes are poorer oral hygiene and lower utilization of dental care services. Specific prevention programs targeting migrants are warranted to improve oral health in this disadvantaged group
