目的：本研究的目的是检查父母的口腔健康行为和口腔健康状况的学校child.SAMPLE和METHODS：主题包括296对父母（母亲或父亲）和他们的孩子在一所小学在广岛之间的相互关系。使用世界卫生组织（WHO）龋齿诊断标准对儿童的龋齿（DT）和补牙（FT）进行牙科检查。儿童口腔评级指数（ORI-C）用于儿童的牙龈健康检查。采用广岛大学牙科行为量表（HU-DBI）对父母的口腔健康行为进行评估。结果：DT与ORI-C呈显著相关（r =-0.168; P < 0.01）。ORI-C与儿童口腔健康行为（OHB-C）呈显著正相关（r = 0.182; P < 0.01）。OHB-C与HU-DBI显著相关（r = 0.251; P < 0.001）。经过一些修正后的假设模型被发现与数据一致（chi（2）= 1.3，d.f. = 6，P = 0.97;拟合优度指数= 0.999）。父母的口腔卫生行为影响子女的口腔卫生行为（P < 0.001）。儿童的口腔健康行为通过其对牙龈健康水平的影响而影响他们的DT。父母的口腔卫生行为对儿童的DT有显著的直接影响（P < 0.05）。儿童的年级影响DT和他们的口腔健康behaviors.CONCLUSIONS：父母的口腔健康行为可以直接和/或间接地影响他们的孩子的牙龈健康和龋齿，通过其对儿童的口腔健康行为的影响。
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to examine the simultaneous interrelationships between parents' oral health behaviour and the oral health status of their school children.SAMPLE AND METHODS: Subjects comprised 296 pairs of parents (mother or father) and their children at an elementary school in Hiroshima. The child's dental examination was performed using the World Health Organization (WHO) caries diagnostic criteria for decayed teeth (DT) and filled teeth (FT). The Oral Rating Index for Children (ORI-C) was used for the child's gingival health examination. Hiroshima University Dental Behavioural Inventory (HU-DBI) was used for the assessment of the parents' oral health behaviour. A parent-child behavioural model was tested by the linear structural relations (LISREL) programme.RESULTS: There was a significant correlation between DT and ORI-C (r = - 0.168; P < 0.01). Correlation was found between ORI-C and oral health behaviour in children (OHB-C) (r = 0.182; P < 0.01). OHB-C was significantly associated with the HU-DBI (r = 0.251; P < 0.001). The hypothesized model after some revisions was found to be consistent with the data (chi(2) = 1.3, d.f. = 6, P = 0.97; Goodness of Fit Index = 0.999). Parents' oral health behaviour affected their children's oral health behaviour (P < 0.001). Children's oral health behaviour affected their DT through its effect on gingival health level. Parents' oral health behaviour also had a significant direct effect on their children's DT (P < 0.05). Children's grade affected both DT and their oral health behaviour.CONCLUSIONS: Parents' oral health behaviour could influence their children's gingival health and dental caries directly and/or indirectly through its effect on children's oral health behaviour.
