“…However, a number of studies have examined the validity of self-reported dentate status, denture wearing or number of remaining teeth compared with a 'gold standard' assessment by clinicians and found high levels of agreement. 22,23 We believe that these relatively minor methodological differences would have only a small impact on prevalence estimates and would be ver y unlikely to account for the large differences observed over time, and among age groups, the sexes, and States/Ter ritories.…”

“…13 The NDTIS is a cross-sectional telephone interview survey of Australian residents aged five years and over that has been conducted by the Dental Statistics and Research Unit of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in 1994, 1995, 1996. In 1994, households were sampled by selecting telephone numbers listed in the Electronic White Pages telephone directory for all States and Ter ritories.…”

“…The validity of self-assessed remaining teeth has been evaluated using telephone interview and mail survey methods and was found to closely approximate clinical assessments. [24][25][26][27] Rates of participation (56.6%) and response (64.6%) were not high enough to justify a claim that findings reflect the total population and not just those in the sample. To help minimise the impact of non-response we used recommended methods of survey design and weighted the data to reflect the age and sex distributions in each sampling stratum and adjusted for differences in the probabilities of selection.…”

Objective: To establish population estimates of self‐assessed tooth loss and subjective oral health and describe the social distribution of these measures among dentate adults in Australia. Methods: Self‐report data were obtained from a nationally representative sample of 3,678 adults aged 18–91 years who participated in the 1999 National Dental Telephone Interview Survey and completed a subsequent mail survey. Oral health was evaluated using (1) self‐assessed tooth loss, (2) the 14‐item Oral Health Impact Profile, and (3) a global six‐point rating of oral health. Results: While the absolute difference in tooth loss across household income levels increased at each successive age group (18–44 years, 45–64 years, 65+ years) from 0.7 teeth to 6.1 teeth, the magnitude of the difference was approximately twofold at each age group. For subjective oral health measures, the magnitude of difference across income groups was most pronounced in the 18–44 years age group. In multivariate analysis, low household income, blue‐collar occupation, and high residential area disadvantage were positively associated with social impact from oral conditions and pathological tooth loss. Speaking other than English at home (relative to English), low household income (relative to high income), and vocational relative to tertiary education were each associated with more than twice the odds of poor self‐rated oral health. Conclusions: Significant social differentials in perceived oral health exist among dentate adults. Inequalities span the socio‐economic hierarchy. Implications: In addition to improving overall levels of oral health in the adult community, goals and targets should aim to reduce social inequalities in the distribution of outcomes.

“…Axelsson and Helgadóttir reported that the kappa statistic for agreement between the self-reported number of remaining teeth and the number found at a clinical examination in the 18-y group, 35-to-44-y group, and the group aged 65 y or older were 0.56, 0.60, and 0.63, respectively ( 21 ). Persons are more knowledgeable about tooth loss than about signs and symptoms of disturbances of oral health, such as toothache, sore or swollen gums, and sensitivity of teeth to cold or heat ( 22 ).…”

Summary Epidemiological evidence regarding dental status and its relationship to diet and nutritional status has been limited. The present cross-sectional study examined the relationship between intake of vegetables, fruit, grains, antioxidants, and fiber and the prevalence of tooth loss. Study subjects were 1,002 pregnant Japanese women. Tooth loss was defined as the previous extraction of 1 or more teeth. Adjustment was made for age, gestation, parity, cigarette smoking, passive smoking at home and at work, family income, education, changes in diet in the previous 1 mo, season when data were collected, and body mass index. Of the 1,002 subjects, 256 women had lost 1 or more teeth. Compared with intake of vegetables other than green and yellow vegetables in the lowest quartile, consumption of the other vegetables in the highest quartile was independently associated with a decreased prevalence of tooth loss, showing a clear inverse dose-response relationship. There was a marginally significant inverse dose-response relationship between the intake of insoluble fiber and tooth loss. No association was observed between intake of green and yellow vegetables, soluble fiber, or antioxidant nutrients and tooth loss. These findings suggested that consumption of vegetables other than green and yellow vegetables and insoluble fiber may be related to a decreased prevalence of tooth loss among young Japanese women.
