“…This conceptual framework basically reflects an evolutionary-biological approach to development and has recently been supported by some animal research showing an influential link between rearing experience and sexual maturation in rats (Cameron et al 2008;Belsky 2012). This may explain a trend toward an earlier pubertal development among girls reared in urban locations where environmental stressors are more prominent than in rural areas, as shown in this study and other research in Western societies (Padez 2003;Dratva et al 2007). However, adolescents at different stages of pubertal timing did not differ in reporting scores on family context, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships in our study where these measures were assessed concurrently at the pubertal stage.…”

We examined the potential mediational roles of self-esteem and interpersonal relationships that link the effect of family context on psychological outcomes in 5214 junior high school students. The moderating effects of pubertal timing were also examined. Pubertal development scores were used to measure pubertal status. Separate mediational models were examined across subgroups with different pubertal timings (i.e., early puberty, on-time puberty, and late puberty). Self-esteem and interpersonal relationships mediated the association between family context and psychological consequences. Although early-maturing adolescents tended to have more psychological problems, they were usually more strongly influenced by self-esteem than were their latematuring counterparts. Self-esteem and interpersonal relationships were both important when dealing with adolescent psychological problems, particularly for those who mature early. Clinicians should be able to recognize these problems associated with pubertal transition and provide appropriate counseling with a focus on positive adaption to reduce adverse psychological and behavioral consequences.

“…In fact, changes in a fair number of reproductive as well as social and clinical determinants have occurred. Birth rates have decreased and maternal age has increased in the last decades [34]. Pregnancies are monitored more closely in the recent decades, and timepoint of diagnoses and clinical handling of gestational complications most certainly have changed.…”

“…In fact, women living in Swiss rural areas seem to have more children and an earlier menarche than women of urban regions (Dratva et al 2006), which could, in turn, negatively influence their dentition status. Our findings add evidence that gender plays an important role in oral health.…”

Female gender is associated with dental care and dental hygiene, but not with complete dentition in the Swiss adult population

Aim Little is known about the impact of gender on oral health, besides the influence of reproductive factors on female dentition. The aim of this study was to analyse gender differences with regard to oral health and oral health behaviour in the Swiss adult population, using data from the Swiss Health Survey of 2002. Subjects and methods The Swiss Health Survey regularly collects detailed information on health and health determinants of a random sample of the Swiss population aged 15 years and older. A written questionnaire including items on oral health was filled in by 7,115 men and 9,026 women in 2002. Weighted prevalence rates were calculated, and multivariate logistic regression analyses used to evaluate the role of gender for complete and functional dentition and for oral health behaviour. Finally, the multivariate model was stratified for men and women and run for the outcome "complete dentition". Results Women had a higher prevalence of visits to the dentist in the last 12 months (64% versus 60% men), of visits to dental hygienists (39% versus 34%), and of frequent tooth brushing (several times a day) (82% versus 66%). Adjusting for preventive behaviour, sociodemographic and socio-economic variables in multivariate analyses, female gender was positively associated with the prevalence of visits to the dentist (OR 1.33, 95% CI 1.24-1.43) and of frequent tooth brushing several times a day (OR 2.57, 95% CI 2.36-2.79), but not with complete dentition (OR 1.01, 95% CI 0.93-1.09). In the stratified analysis, associations of complete dentition with socioeconomic status, oral hygiene and preventive behaviour were stronger in men than in women. Conclusion Gender plays an important role in oral health. Adult women report a more pronounced preventive oral health behaviour than men; their dentition, however, is not more often complete. Mechanisms involved in women's oral health are probably more complex than those underlying men's oral health. An in-depth gender analysis is needed to shed more light upon this issue.
