Abstract:Objective:To test a theoretical mediation model and investigate whether drug use and/or dental anxiety act as mediating factors between depression and dental decay experience among prisoners.
Method:A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of 300 prisoners across three prison establishments in Scotland. Depression and dental anxiety were measured using the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale and the Modified Dental Anxiety Scale, respectively. Drug use was assessed using t… Show more
“…The data collected in the study by Arora et al [ 33 ] in prisons in Scotland demonstrated the comorbidity relationship between mental health and oral health and demonstrated the importance of incorporating oral health policy into prison and inclusion of oral health promotion measures to ensure that these needs are more adequately met, reducing impacts on the quality of life of these prisoners.…”

“…The presence of people with mental health problems in prisons in the United States was identified three times more frequently than in US hospitals [ 33 ]. Also in this regard, a study carried out in Scottish prisons found that the prevalence of depressed individuals in these environments is double that in the Scottish population [ 32 ].…”
Background. Prison units are marked by structural deficiencies, especially in relation to the female gender. Objectives. To measure the self-perceived impact of oral health on the quality of life of Brazilian women in detention. Methodology. A survey was carried out conducted in the penitentiary at Juiz de Fora (Minas Gerais, Brazil) using an instrument with semistructured questions and validated scales, including the Oral Health Impact Profile-14. 99 women were interviewed. The analysis was based on a theoretical model of determination, with hierarchical blocks of variables. Bivariate analysis was done using the Mann–Whitney, test and multivariate analysis was used using linear regression. The significance level was set at 5%. Results. 33% experienced tooth loss after incarceration, (3.70 ± 3.26 lost teeth). 65.6% rated the dental service as fair/poor. The highest prevalence of oral health impact was for the domains of psychological discomfort (50.5%) and physical pain (40.4%). There is a negative impact on psychological discomfort: the number of dental consultations in the past year and self-perceived general health. There is an impact on physical pain: self-declared color and anxiety. Self-perceived general health had an impact on the domains of psychological disability and social disadvantage. Depression had an impact on the total score. Conclusion. This study revealed a self-perceived impact of oral health on the quality of life of women inmates. We need to ensure high-quality access to dental treatment in prisons.

“…In other words, stress and depression can be considered as confounders because are associated with BMI 21 and with dental caries 12 and can be considered mediators because a decrease of BMI can decrease the risk of depression 22,23 and depression could influence tooth loss 24 (Figure 1). Therefore, we excluded behavioral variables from the second analysis considering this possibility.…”
Aim: To investigate the association between obesity, overweight, and tooth loss due to caries among university students of (Federal University of Pelotas) in southern Brazil. Methods: A cross-sectional study with all first-year students who regularly enrolled in the first semester of 2016 who were invited to respond to a self-administered questionnaire contain socioeconomic and demographic; psychosocial; oral health; behavioral questions. The body mass index (BMI) was calculated through the self-reported data of weight and height. The main outcome of the present study was determined by the person’s that answer having had at least one tooth extracted due to caries. A Poisson regression using a backward stepwise procedure was performed. Two models were tested: i) including socioeconomic and behavioral variables; ii) without behavioral variables. Results: From 3,237 eligible students, 2,089 (64.5%) participated in the present study. Almost 23% of students presented overweight and 8.4% obesity, whereas 362 individuals (17.5%) reported having had at least one tooth extracted due to caries. Regarding the final model adjusted by behavioral variables, it was observed that obese university students presented a 32.0% higher prevalence of tooth loss (PR=0.32,CI95%[1.17–1.49]). However, overweight was not associated with tooth loss in the present sample. When the model was not associated with behavioral variables, overweight was associated with tooth loss (PR=1.44; CI95%[1.15–1.81]), just as obesity (PR=2.13; CI95%[1.63 – 2.78]). Conclusions: Obesity and overweight were associated with tooth loss due to caries in the present sample of university students.

Einstaklingar á jaðri samfélagsins mynda hópa sem erfitt getur reynst að nálgast og skilgreina. Samhliða því eru félagsleg vandamál gjarnan til staðar hjá þessum einstaklingum. Í vísindalegu tilliti er áskorun að rannsaka munnheilsutengda þætti hjá jaðarsettum samfélagshópum og kallar sú staðreynd á óhefðbundnar nálganir. Rannsóknir á Norðurlöndunum hafa sýnt fram á nokkrar orsakir fyrir lélegri munnheilsu þessara hópa og hindrarnir hvað varðar meðferð einstaklinga, skipulagningu og stefnumótun. Þörf er á sérsniðnunm áætlunum fyrir tannheilsu jaðarhópa. Háskólar þurfa ennfremur að forgangsraða þessu rannsóknarsviði. Í faraldsfræðilegu og einstaklingsbundnu tilliti er munnheilsa þessara hópa mjög slæm og er þörf á bragabót.
