Is Poor Self-Rated Health Associated with Higher Caries Experience in Adults? The HUNT4 Oral Health Study
The present study demonstrated an independent association between poor self-rated health and a higher burden of caries experience, adjusted for education, income, and employment status. The association was stronger in women and individuals below the age of 55 years. These findings add new evidence in understanding caries inequalities through self-rated health.
