健康模型的基础是知识、态度、暂时和永久行为。目前，在处理慢性病时，更多的重点是生活方式、教育、水平和社会经济因素的综合影响，而不是常规的风险因素。本研究旨在将人们的牙周健康与生活方式，教育水平和社会经济地位相关联。在Nellore的Narayana牙科学院和医院牙周科进行了一项横断面研究。共调查1350人，随机抽取门诊病人948人。他们的生活方式，教育水平和社会经济地位的信息记录使用问卷调查，并与牙周状况。统计分析显示，牙周炎的显着下降，随着收入和教育水平的提高。此外，与不健康的生活方式相比，健康的生活方式与牙周炎的患病率显着降低。生活方式、教育水平和社会经济地位与牙周健康密切相关。
The health model which forms the basis is knowledge, attitude, temporary, and permanent behaviors. Currently, more emphasis has been directed towards the combined influence of lifestyle, education, levels and socioeconomic factors, instead of regular risk factors in dealing with chronic illnesses. The present study is conducted to correlate the periodontal health of people with reference to lifestyle, education level, and socioeconomic status. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Periodontics, Narayana Dental College and Hospital, Nellore. A total of 1350 subjects were examined and 948 patients were randomly selected from out patient department. Information about their lifestyle, education level, and socioeconomic status were recorded using a questionnaire and correlated with the periodontal status. The statistical analysis showed significant decrease in periodontitis when income and education levels increased. Also the prevalence of periodontitis associated with a healthy lifestyle is significantly lower when compared to an unhealthy lifestyle. There is a strong association of lifestyle, education level, and socioeconomic status with periodontal health.
