目的：描述2-4岁儿童龋病的患病率、严重程度和类型，并评估儿童龋病经历与其喂养方式和社会经济背景（母亲的教育程度和家庭收入）之间的关系。设计：横断面调查。地点：中国湖北省汉川市郊区。参与者：426名儿童（250名男孩和176名女孩）的样本。方法：采用世界卫生组织龋病诊断标准对幼儿园进行口腔检查。母亲们完成了一份简短的调查问卷。结局指标：龋齿流行率;猖獗的龋齿;门牙龋齿;门牙和/或犬齿和臼齿中的龋齿;龋齿、缺失和填充牙齿/表面的平均数量（dmft/s）。结果：36%的儿童患龋，7%患猛性龋。在12%的儿童中发现了涉及乳磨牙以及门牙和/或犬齿的更广泛的龋齿模式。与母乳喂养的儿童相比，完全用奶瓶喂养的儿童患猖獗龋齿的风险是母乳喂养的儿童的五倍。结论：结果表明，婴儿喂养习惯可能是一个关键的危险因素，在这个国家的发展，在早期的年龄龋齿在其他地方。
Aims: To describe the prevalence, severity and patterns of caries in 2-4-year-old children and to evaluate the association between caries experience of the children and their feeding patterns and socio-economic background in terms of mothers' education and family income. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: Suburban area of Hanchuan in Hubei province, China. Participants: A sample of 426 children (250 boys and 176 girls). Methods: Dental examinations were undertaken in kindergartens using World Health Organization diagnostic criteria for dental caries. Mothers completed a short questionnaire. Outcome measures: Prevalence of caries; rampant caries; caries in incisors; caries in incisors and/or canines and molars; mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth/surfaces (dmft/s). Results: 36% of the children had caries, 7% had rampant caries. The more extensive pattern of caries involving primary molars as well as incisors and/or canines was seen in 12% of children. Children who had been wholly bottle-fed had five times the risk of having rampant caries compared to children who were breast-fed. Conclusions: The results indicated that infant feeding practice might be a key risk factor for the development of caries at an early age in this country as elsewhere.
