Social Capital Associates With Better Cognitive Health, Oral Health and Epigenetic Age Deceleration: Findings From the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging
Background: Social exposures are linked to an array of health outcomes, especially around aging. In this study, we examined the association of social capital, defined as social relationships and networks, with clinical and biological outcomes including cognitive health, oral inflammation, and epigenetic aging. Methods: We used data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) ( n = 1,479; aged 45–85 years), categorizing social capital as …
Age and sex differences in the association of dental visits with inadequate oral health and multimorbidity: Findings from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA)
Dental visiting may contribute to better oral health and reduced chronic diseases in the middle-aged and older population. Our findings suggest the need for age and sex-specific targeted interventions to optimize oral and overall health
Cigarettes' use and capabilities-opportunities-motivation-for-behavior model: A multi-country survey of adolescents and young adults
The use of cigarettes among adolescents and young adults (AYA) is an important issue. This study assessed the association between regular and electronic-cigarettes use among AYA and factors of the Capability-Motivation-Opportunity-for-Behavior-change (COM-B) model. A multi-country survey was conducted between August-2020 and January-2021, Data was collected using the Global-Youth-Tobacco-Survey and Generalized-Anxiety-Disorder-7-item-scale. Multi…
Neighborhood-Level Inequalities in Dental Care of Adolescents and Young Adults in Southwestern Ontario
We examined whether the association of neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES) with the cost of dental care and dental care outcomes differs between adolescents and young adults. A total of 2915 patient records were split into two groups: adolescents (15 to 17 years of age) and young adults (18 to 24 years of age). Three dental care outcomes-routine oral evaluation (OEV-CH-A), utilization of preventive services (PRV-CH-A), and dental treatm…
Anxiety among Adolescents and Young Adults during Covid-19 Pandemic: A Multi-Country Survey
(1) Background: Adolescents-and-young-adults (AYA) are prone to anxiety. This study assessed AYA's level of anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic; and determined if anxiety levels were associated with country-income and region, socio-demographic profile and medical history of individuals. (2) Methods: A survey collected data from participants in 25 countries. Dependent-variables included general-anxiety level, and independent-variables included me…
Racial/ethnic inequality in the association of allostatic load and dental caries in children
Similar racial inequality is evident in AL and UD that is not explained by poverty and/or behavioral factors. Racial/ethnic inequality is also evident in the association between AL and UD
Comparing the magnitude of oral health inequality over time in Canada and the United States
Objectives To assess the magnitude of, and changes in, absolute and relative oral health inequality in Canada and the United States, from the 1970s till the first decade of the new millennium. Methods Data were obtained from four national surveys; two Canadian (NCNS 1970–1972 and CHMS 2007–2009) and two American (HANES 1971–1974 and NHANES 2007–2008). The slope and relative index of inequality were used to measure absolute and relative inequality…
Stressed-Out Oral Immunity: A Gateway From Socioeconomic Adversity to Periodontal Disease
OBJECTIVE: It has been suggested that adverse socioeconomic conditions "get under the skin" by eliciting a stress response that can trigger periodontal inflammation. We aimed to a) estimate the extent to which socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with periodontal disease (PD) and proinflammatory oral immunity, and b) determine the contribution of psychosocial stress and stress hormones to these relationships. METHODS: In this cross-sectiona…
How does the social “get under the gums”? The role of socio-economic position in the oral-systemic health link
Assessing the relationship between dental appearance and the potential for discrimination in Ontario, Canada
Poor oral health is influenced by a variety of individual and structural factors. It disproportionately impacts socially marginalized people, and has implications for how one is perceived by others. This study assesses the degree to which residents of Canada's most populated province, Ontario, recognize income-related oral health inequalities and the degree to which Ontarians blame the poor for these differences in health, thus providing an indir…
