Health Place
July 2017
Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 7HB, UK. Electronic address:
While the role of political factors on population health has recently received increasing attention, relatively little is known in that respect for oral health. We aimed to assess the influence of welfare state regimes on the variation in adult oral health between European countries, building on the existing literature by using a multilevel approach. Our analysis also explored how the oral health of people with different socioeconomic position was influenced by living in five different welfare state regimes.

Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London, 1-19 Torrington Place, London WC1E 6BT, UK.
Background And Objectives: To assess whether the clustering of six specific health-compromising behaviors, namely, low fruit consumption, high sweet consumption, infrequent tooth brushing, physical inactivity, fighting and smoking, varied by different psychosocial determinants such as life satisfaction, peer relationships, self-confidence, and future orientation among male adolescents in Saudi Arabia.
Patients And Methods: A representative stratified cluster random sample of 1335 Saudi Arabian male adolescents living in the city of Riyadh answered a questionnaire on health-related behaviors. Poisson regression models were constructed separately for younger (13-14-years-old) and older (17-19-years-old) adolescents to assess variations between explanatory psychosocial variables and the clustering of six health-compromising behaviors, adjusting for father's education.

Caries Res
December 2017
Department of Dentistry, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, Brazil.
Dental caries levels have declined in children since the 1970s in many countries. Most of the postulated main reasons for the decline are speculative and have not been rigorously evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between some social factors and the decline in dental caries in Brazilian 12-year-old children from 1996 to 2010.

Community Dent Oral Epidemiol
October 2016
Australian Research Centre for Population Oral Health, School of Dentistry, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, SA, Australia.
Objective: To assess whether short-term changes in income (IC) in adulthood were associated with self-rated oral health (SROH) and chewing difficulties (CD).
Methods: Secondary analysis of a longitudinal study in Florianópolis, Southern Brazil (EpiFloripa); a total of 1720 adults participated in 2009 and 1223 in 2012. Logistic regression analysed the variation of SROH and CD according to short-term changes in income (IC) groups ('high income-stable', 'increased income', 'decreased income' and 'low income-stable') and adjusted for covariates (age, sex, marital status, skin colour, self-reported number of teeth and education).
