Mental Health, Socioeconomic Position, and Oral Health: A Path Analysis
SEP, which involves several major social determinants of health, is directly associated with mental health and indirectly associated with self-rated oral health status, with mental health modifying the relationship between SEP and self-rated oral health. Findings emphasize the need to integrate medical, dental, and behavioral health with the goal of providing comprehensive person-centered care.
