Analyses were performed with test dataset (n = 1259). AUROC: area under the receiver operating characteristic; 1-Accuracy: misclassification rate; MCC: Matthews correlations coefficient. * Five variables were included: age, household income, daily brushing frequency, age of the mother at giving birth, and the mother’s DMFT quartile. ** Four variables were included: age, household income, daily brushing frequency, and the mother’s DMFT quartile.
