|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gender (Male) | 1.003 | (0.746–1.347) | 1.055 | (0.776–1.435) |

| 3 levels vs no dissatisfaction | 3.393 | (1.023- 11.260) | 3.617 | (1.057–12.373) |
Dependent variable: poor self-evaluation of oral health
Independent variables: Gender, BMI categories, dmft score, DMFT score, DAI score, total number of decayed teeth
*Unadjusted OR were calculated separately for each individual variable
**Model adjusted for gender, BMI categories, dmft score, DMFT score, DAI score; log likelihood chi-square: 31.364, Prob > chi-square: 0.001, Pseudo R-square: 0.043
