Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 has raised questions about how new infections are connected to the environment, climate, and health, leading to a research project by the European Union called H2020 HERA.
- The spread of the virus is linked to things like city development, habitat destruction, animal trade, and global travel, and more research is needed on the role of climate and pollution.
- The pandemic has caused changes in society and behavior that could affect health for a long time, and future recovery plans need to consider their environmental and health impacts.
Background: First-year university students are in a new, independent life situation, which may affect health behaviour, including oral health habits. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between dental fear and oral health habits, while considering the simultaneous effects of attitude toward food and treatment need at dental check-ups.
Methods: The data (n = 8514) for this national cross-sectional study were collected from health registers of Finnish Student Health Service.
