Marco Aure´ lio Peres Skin colour is associated with periodontal disease in Brazilian adults: a population-based oral health survey |
| description |
Aim: To estimate the prevalence of periodontal disease in Brazilian adults and to test
its association with skin colour after controlling for socio-demographic variables.
Methods: The periodontal status of 11,342 Brazilian adults was informed by a
nationwide oral health survey. Socio-demographic variables included skin colour,
gender, schooling, per capita income, age and geographical region. The association
between periodontal disease and skin colour was tested by a logistic regression model,
adjusting for covariates. Interactions between skin colour and socio-demographic
variables were tested.
Results: The prevalence of periodontal diseases was 9.0% [95% confidence interval
(CI) 7.6–10.3]. Lighter-skinned black people (pardos) and dark-skinned black people
(pretos) presented higher levels of periodontal disease when compared with white
people [odds ratio (OR)51.5; 95% CI 1.2; 1.8; OR51.6; 95% CI 1.2; 2.1,
respectively] even after controlling for age, gender, schooling, per capita income
and geographic region. No interactions were statistically significant.
Conclusion: Skin colour was significantly associated with periodontal disease among
Brazilian adults after adjustment for socio-economic and demographic covariates. |
