초록

Objectives: This study examined the correlation between the quartile present teeth and the
socioeconomic status and oral health behavior among elderly Koreans.
Methods: Data was collected as part of the National Oral Health Survey(NOHS) data in 2006. A twostage,
proportional random sample consisting of 1,193 persons aged 65+ years was carried out. The
number of teeth present were categorized as the quartile teeth: from the lowest quartile(Q1) to the
highest quartile(Q4). A Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis were used to determine the
relationship between the Q1 and Q4 number of teeth and the socioeconomic status and oral health
behavior.
Results: There were significant differences between in edentulous(Q1) subjects aged 75+ years and
those with 19 to 28 teeth(Q4). In addition, there were significant differences in the quartile of subjects
aged 65-74 between those with 0-8(Q1) and 25-28(Q4).
Q1 were significantly associated with the education level, communication ability, experience of a
disqualified dentist and frequency of dental visits.
When subjects whose last visit to a dentist was less than 6 month prior were used as the reference group,
the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for those aged 65-74 and 75+, who had not visited a dentist for
more than 5 years, was 2.1(1.1-3.8) and 5.7(2.2-15.1) respectively.
Conclusion: Q4 was associated with a higher education level, communication ability, lack of experience
with a disqualified dentist and frequency of dental visits than those with Q1 teeth.
Overall, the quartile of teeth present is associated with the socioeconomic status and oral health
behavior of elderly Koreans.
