Coefficients for perceived current stress index with oral health outcomes
| Model 1 | Model 2 | |
|---|---|---|
| Oral Health Outcomes | Crude Current Stress Beta Coefficient (95 % CI) | Adjusted Current Stress and Oral Health Beta Coefficient (95 % CI) |
| Pain or discomfort in teeth or gums over past month | 0.33 (0.27–0.39) | 0.32 (0.26–0.38) |
| General health of teeth and mouth | 0.31 (0.23–0.39) | 0.28 (0.19–0.36) |
Model 1 models the crude effect of the perceived current stress index. Model 2 is further adjusted age and sex for oral pain, and for age, sex and household income for general oral health
