目的探讨住院老年人根面龋病的危险指标。方法对21所养老院舍中5颗以上牙齿露出牙根的非衰弱老年人进行横断面调查。牙科检查由一名训练有素的牙医在养老院使用便携式诊所灯、口镜和牙科探测仪进行。结果306名老年人的平均年龄为78.8岁，根面龋病与根面充填情况作为因变量，采用两水平Logistic回归分析研究根面龋病与学科水平和场地水平的关系。DS-ROOT和DFS-ROOT平均得分分别为1.3和2.1。根面龋病指数平均得分为3.92。回归分析结果显示，同一受试者根面患龋率之间呈正相关(IC1=0.37，ICC2=0.29，P
ObjectiveTo investigate the risk indicators for root caries in institutionalized elders.MethodsNonfrail elders living in 21 residential elderly homes who had at least 5 teeth with exposed roots were examined in this cross-sectional study. The dental examinations were conducted by one trained dentist in the elderly homes using a portable clinic light, mouth mirror, and dental explorer. Two-level logistic regression analyses, one using the presence of decay and the other using decay/filling in the root surface as the dependent variable, were conducted to study the relationship between root caries and a number of selected subject-level and site-level factors.ResultsA total of 306 elders with a mean age of 78.8years were examined. Their mean DS-root and DFS-root scores were 1.3 and 2.1, respectively. Their mean root caries index score was 3.92. Results from the regression analyses revealed a positive correlation between the caries status of the root surfaces in the same subject (ICC1=0.37, ICC2=0.29, P
