Abstract:El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar la asociación entre diversos indicadores socioeconómicos y la utilización de servicios de salud bucal. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 3.048 escolares. La variable utilización de servicios de salud bucal y las variables sociodemográficas y socioeconómicas se colectaron a través de un cuestionario dirigido a las madres. Para determinar las necesidades de salud se realizó un examen clínico bucal a los niños. Las asociaciones ajustadas fueron evaluadas con regresión logíst… Show more
“…Estos resultados coinciden con Uysal et al 23 y con Fonseca et al 26 y difieren de otros estudios que reportaron mayor utilización de servicios de salud odontológicos en individuos de sexo femenino 3,5,23,27,28 . El ingreso 28 , así como el nivel socioeconómi-co 29 son variables que se han relacionado fuertemente con la utilización de los servicios de salud, debido a que representan la capacidad de pago para acceder a un servicio y constituyen una de las barreras más frecuentemente reportadas 30 . que dicha desigualdad se debe en su mayor parte a la influencia de variables tales como el ingreso per cápita del hogar, el nivel educativo, la posesión de cobertura de salud, el lugar de residencia, entre otros.…”

“…The probability of receiving dental care was 5 times higher in children proceeding from high income families than those from low income. One study conducted in México (Medina-Solís et al, 2009) in children between aged 6 to 12, found economic and social predictors that influence the utilization of preventive and curative services such as economic position, type of insurance and education (public or private) and high and moderate oral health needs. A cross-sectional study conducted in 350 low-income families with children from 0 to 15 years living in Southern Brazil (Baldani et al, 2011), identified social and psychological inequalities in dental services utilization by means of a contextual model, recognizing a higher proportion of children who had never had a dental visit for reason of age, inadequate oral hygiene habits, lack of perceived need of dental care and whose families were under absent ownership.…”
ABSTRACT:The objective of this study was to analyze related factors to the use/no use of oral health services amongst children aged 6 to 15 in Colombia. Cross-sectional analysis with the information provided for the 2007 National Public Health Survey. Exposure variable: Use of oral health services. Health status variables: Self-rated health, oral health problems, oral pain, dental caries, gum bleeding. Explicative variables: Sex, age and ethnic origin. A descriptive study of the variables was carried out. Logistical regression was used to estimate the relationship between the category "never had an oral health visit" and each explicative and general and oral health status indicators, first crudely and after adjusting for other variables (Odds Ratio OR, 95% Confidence Intervals 95%CI). Analyses were conducted separately for men (M) and Women (W). The prevalence of use of health services is higher in people reporting not to belong to an ethnic group, those reporting dental problems, oral-dental pain, dental caries and gum bleeding (statistically significant differences p<0.05). After adjusting for control variables people aged 6 to 8 (W: OR 2.18 95%CI 1.87-2.53), those reporting to belong to an ethnic group (M: 3.01 95%CI 2.44-3.71; W: OR 3.59 95%CI 2.86-4.51) and those reporting poor self-rated health (W: OR 1.44 95%CI 1.25-1.66) were more likely to report "have never been to a dental visit". Inequalities in use of oral health services in Colombia amongst study population were found in younger children and those belonging to minority ethnic groups. These findings are linked to barriers to health services accessibility.KEY WORDS: oral health, dental health services, health services accessibility, health inequalities.
“…En cambio en el estudio de Casanova et al (22) donde su muestra de estudio se trató también de estudiantes universitarios las cifras fueron similares. En este sentido, la escolaridad es una variable de posición socioeconómica, y se ha demostrado en diferentes estudios que las variables de posición socioeconó-mica son fuertes predictores de indicadores de salud bucal (25)(26)(27)(28).…”
The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of permanent teeth loss in a university population of adolescents and young adults, and also to determine the distribution by age and sex. A cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 1027 adolescents and young adults from 16 to 25 years old selected randomly from the total number of applicants to the bachelor's degree program of San Luis Potosi University, Mexico. The dependent variable was the prevalence of tooth loss, codified as "0"=subjects without tooth loss and "1"=subjects with at least one tooth loss. Others variables included were age and sex. Analyzes was performed in STATA 9.0 with logistic regression. The mean of age was 18.20±1.65 and 52.0% were men. The prevalence of tooth loss was 18.0% (n=185) and the mean of 0.46±1.13, whereas in subjects with at least one tooth loss the mean was 2.54±1.32. The maximum number of teeth loss was 5. In the adjusted model we obtained statistic significance in the age (OR=1.11; p<0.05). Women have 41% high risk to present at least one tooth loss than men. Subjects that presented more of 6 filling have high possibility to have teeth loss (OR=1.60; p<0.05). Findings indicate that the experience to have tooth loss reaches nearly 20.0%, and that there was relationship between tooth loss and age, sex and number of fillings. This study demonstrates the existence of gender inequalities.
