Self-reported oral health among Brazilian adults: results from the National Health Surveys 2013 and 2019
Abstract
Objective: To evaluate indicators of oral health conditions and behaviours among Brazilian adults in the 2019 National Health Survey (PNS) and analyse the evolution of those indicators compared to the 2013 PNS.
Methods: Cross-sectional study. Prevalence ratios of oral health conditions and behaviours, in 2019, were estimated by demographic characteristics. Risk ratios were computed using Poisson regression, and absolute differences (Dif.) between indicators in 2013 and 2019 were calculated.
Results: Prevalence of brushing teeth twice a day, using toothbrush/toothpaste/floss and edentulism were, respectively, 93.6% (95%CI 93.3;93.9), 63.0% (95%CI 62.3;63.6) and 10.3% (95%CI 9.93;10.7). There was increase in prevalence of brushing teeth ≥ 2 a day (Dif. = 4.5; 95%CI 3.9;5.1), using toothbrush/toothpaste/floss (Dif. = 10.0; 95%CI 8.6;11.3) and a decrease in prevalence of edentulism (Dif. = -0.7; 95%CI -1.3;-0.1).
Conclusion: Respondents who were younger, more educated, with higher income and lived in urban areas had better oral health indicators. Most indicators demonstrated positive improvement.
Objetivo: Analisar indicadores das condições e comportamentos relacionados à saúde bucal de brasileiros adultos na Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2019 e sua evolução em relação a 2013.
Métodos: Estudo transversal que estimou prevalências de comportamentos e condições de saúde bucal segundo variáveis demográficas. Foram calculadas as razões de prevalência, por regressão de Poisson, e estimadas diferenças absolutas (Dif.) entre os indicadores de 2013 e 2019.
Resultados: Em 2019, as prevalências de escovação ≥ 2 vezes ao dia, uso de escova/dentifrício/fio dental e edentulismo foram, respectivamente, 93,6% (IC95% 93,3;93,9), 63,0% (IC95% 62,3;63,6) e 10,3% (IC95% 9,9;10,7). Escovação ≥ 2 vezes/dia (Dif. = 4,5; IC95% 3,9;5,1) e uso de escova/dentifrício/fio dental (Dif. = 10,0; IC95% 8,6;11,3) aumentaram, enquanto o edentulismo (Dif. = -0,7; IC95% -1,3;-0,1) foi reduzido.
Conclusão: Observaram-se melhores indicadores de saúde bucal entre pessoas mais jovens, com ensino superior, maior renda e residentes na zona urbana. Verificou-se melhoria na maioria dos indicadores estudados.
Objetivo: Evaluar los indicadores de salud bucal en la población brasileña adulta en base a los datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (PNS) 2019, y analizar su evolución en relación a PNS 2013.
Métodos: Se trata de un estudio transversal. Se estimó la prevalencia de conductas y condiciones de salud bucal en 2019, según características sociodemográficas. Se calcularon razones de prevalencia con regresión de Poisson y se estimaron las diferencias (Dif.) entre los indicadores de 2013 y 2019.
Resultados: La prevalencia de cepillado ≥ 2 veces al día, uso de cepillo/pasta/hilo dental y edentulismo ha sido, respectivamente, 93,6% (IC95% 93,3;93,9), 63,0% (IC95% 62,3;63,6) y 10,3% (IC95% 9,93;10,7). Prevalencia de cepillado ≥ 2 veces al día (Dif. = 4,5; IC95% 3,9;5,1) y uso de cepillo/pasta/hilo dental (Dif. = 10,0; IC95% 8,6;11,3) aumentó, mientras que el edentulismo (Dif. = -0,7; IC95% -1,3; -0,1) disminuyó.
Conclusión: Se observaron mejores indicadores entre jóvenes, con educación superior, mayores ingresos y en áreas urbanas. Hubo mejora en la mayoría de los indicadores.
