Social inequities in general health and oral health among Australian adults over time
Social inequality in health is a persistent and growing concern worldwide. The study aimed to describe and analyse social disparities in general and oral health among Australian adults over time. This study utilised two population-based cross-sectional survey data: the National Survey of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) conducted in 2004-06 (NSAOH-1, n = 14,123) and 2017-18 (NSAOH-2, n = 15,731) in Australia. Representative samples of adults aged 15 yea…
Can low-income people afford life satisfaction? The modifying effect of personality traits, a cross-sectional study
The aim was to investigate whether the "Big Five" personality traits modify the association between household income and life satisfaction (LF); and to evaluate the interaction and main effects of personality traits and income on LF. Data from the Dental Care and Oral Health Study (DCOHS, 2015–2016) was used for the cross-sectional study (n = 3,475). Multivariable Poisson regression models (adjusted for demographics and health behaviours) assesse…
The protective effect of Cald identity in the presence of low income on missing teeth of Australian adults over time
The negative RERI values indicate that the effect-measure modification operates in a negative direction, that is, there is a protective element to being CALD among low income groups with respect to mean number of missing teeth
Oral Health Inequities among Cald and Non-Cald Older Australians
Our findings suggest that social determinants, including increased access to dental insurance, could mitigate the oral health inequities observed
A Longitudinal Study of Chronic Periodontitis in Two Cohorts of Community-Dwelling Elderly Australians
Background: The study aimed to estimate and compare the incidence and progression of chronic periodontitis among two generations of older Australian adults. Methods: Data were from two population-based cohort studies of Australian older adults aged 60+ years South Australian Dental Longitudinal Studies (SADLS), SADLS I (1991-1992) and SADLS II (2013-2014). American Academy of Periodontology/the U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC…
Oral Health of Australian Adults
This study was conducted to describe the distribution and trends in dental caries, periodontal disease and tooth loss in Australian adults based on the findings of the National Study of Adult Oral Health 2017-18. A cross-sectional study of a random sample of Australians aged 15+ years was carried out, employing a three-stage stratified probability sampling design. Data were collected via online survey/telephone interviews using a questionnaire to…
Having fewer than 21 teeth associated with poorer general health among South Australians
Missing teeth was associated with poor general health status as measured by EQ-5D-5L disutility. The relationship was especially evident with respect to mobility and pain/discomfort. The findings emphasize the importance of oral health as predictors of general health
The role of cognitions in short‐term temporal changes in dental fear among Australian adults
This study found, across a relatively short 4-month period, that increased vulnerability-related perceptions of visiting the dentist predicted increased dental fear while decreased vulnerability-related perceptions predicted decreased dental fear. More appropriate study designs, such as longitudinal designs, and longer follow-up periods are needed to determine the possible causal nature of these associations
