Table 3. Prevalence and adjusted odds ratios for experience of dental caries, severe dental caries group and poor subjective oral status to atopic dermatitis in Korean adults.
| Variable | Prevalence (%±SE) | Unadjusted | Model 1 | Model 2 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total | Non-AD | AD | OR (95% CI) | p-value | OR (95% CI) | p-value | OR (95% CI) | p-value | |
| DMFT index＞0 | 89.75±0.67 | 89.64±0.68 | 92.92±0.57 | 1.52 (1.05∼2.18) | 0.025* | 1.58 (1.09∼2.30) | 0.015* | 1.58 (1.08∼2.29) | 0.017* |
| SiC group | 30.35±1.02 | 30.41±1.02 | 28.66±1.00 | 0.92 (0.74∼1.14) | 0.434 | 1.04 (0.84∼1.29) | 0.727 | 1.04 (0.84∼1.30) | 0.713 |

Model 1: Adjusted for age, sex, region, household income, education, body mass index, Model 2: Model 1+smoking status, alcohol consumption, oral health behavior (frequency of tooth brushing, experience of dental check-up within 1 year, use of dental floss, interdental brush and mouth wash), nutritional habit (frequency of intake of crackers/cookies, carbonated soft drinks and ice-cream/sherbet), allergic rhinitis, asthma, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, SE: standard error, AD: atopic dermatitis, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval, DMFT: decayed, missed, and filled teeth, SiC: significant caries index. p-values were calculated by using the simple and multiple logistic regression analyses (*p<0.05 is statistically significant).
