초록

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate differences in unmet dental care needs according to employmentstatus and if factors have relevance to unmet dental care needs due to “economic burden”and “no time to spare for visiting”.
Methods: Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the factors that affectedthe prevalence of unmet dental care needs due to “economic burden” and “no time to spare for visiting”in an economically active population comprised of subjects aged 20-64 years.
Results: Compared to regular workers, part-time workers experienced 1.28-times more unmet dentalcare needs, while students experienced 0.64-times fewer unmet dental care needs. With regard to reasonsrelated to “economic burden”, the rate of experiencing unmet dental care needs was 1.37-timeshigher for part-time workers than for regular workers. Regarding reasons related to “no time to spare forvisiting”, the rate of experiencing unmet dental care needs was 0.51-times lower in part-time workerscompared with regular workers. In economically inactive people, these values were 0.51-times lower inthe unemployed, 0.37-times lower in students, 0.23-times lower in house workers, 0.20-times lower insubjects with disease and injury, and 0.20-times lower in early retirees compared to regular workers.
Conclusions: Part-time workers experienced more unmet dental care needs compared with regularworkers. With regard to “economic burden”, a significant difference in unmet dental care needs wasobserved between regular workers and part-time workers. Additionally, regarding “no time to spare forvisiting”, people who were economically inactive because of unemployment, student or house-workerstatus, diseases and injury, and retirement experienced fewer unmet dental care needs compared withregular workers.
