Abstract

Objectives: Oral health is an important factor that has a great influence on health and social life. This study aims to provide basic data for improving the health of adults by analyzing the current status of oral care according to occupational groups in Korea. Methods: This study was analyzed for 5,375 adults aged 19 years or older who were subject to the study using the 8th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VII, 2nd). The data was analysed using the SPSS Statistics 22.0 program to determine the oral health status and oral health management according to occupational group characteristics using complex sample analysis. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the effect of occupational group characteristics on oral health status and oral hygiene management. Results: The health status discomfort When in chewing/talking was lower among managers/experts and office workers than among the unemployed (housewife, student, etc.) (p<0.05). Oral health care (Oral examination in the past year, scaling, tooth brushing-yesterday, after snack eating, before going to bed, flossing) was higher in managers/experts and office workers (p<0.05). Conclusions: We should prepare effective oral health management measures considering the characteristics of the job and prepare oral health policies considering socio-economic conditions.
