目的以往的研究表明，儿童的社会经济地位与成年后的口腔健康有关，但这些研究没有分别考察父亲和母亲的特征的影响。我们的目标是检查父亲和母亲的教育水平对口腔健康的影响在adult.MethodsA问卷调查进行了社区居住的成年人，年龄在25-50岁。共有4385人同意参与并完成调查。采用自评口腔健康状况评价当前口腔健康状况。我们进行了多元Logistic回归分析，以确定是否父亲或母亲的教育与当前的口腔健康调整后的受访者自己的教育，目前的收入，和儿童的经济状况。ResultsAmong受访者，29.7%的男性和23.0%的女性报告自己的口腔健康公平或贫穷。在男性中，在调整其他社会经济指标后，父亲和母亲的教育与口腔健康显着相关。将父母文化程度同时纳入模型后，仅母亲文化程度仍有显著关联，母亲文化程度为初中者口腔健康不良的比值比（1.90，95%可信区间1.13-3.18）显著高于母亲文化程度为大学或更高者。在女性中，父亲或母亲的教育程度与口腔健康无关。儿童和目前的经济状况与口腔健康women. ConclusionsParentary教育与成人口腔健康只在男性。在男性中，母亲的教育程度比父亲的教育程度更强。进一步的研究应探讨父母教育，特别是母亲的教育，影响他们的儿子在以后的生活中的口腔健康的潜在机制。
ObjectivesPrevious studies have shown that childhood socioeconomic status is associated with oral health in adulthood, but these studies have not examined the effects of fathers' and mothers' characteristics separately. Our objective was to examine the effects of fathers' and mothers' educational level on oral health in adulthood.MethodsA questionnaire survey was conducted for community-dwelling adults aged 25-50 years. A total of 4385 agreed to participate and complete the survey. Self-rated oral health was used to evaluate current oral health. We conducted multiple logistic regression analyses to determine whether the fathers' or mothers' education was associated with current oral health after adjusting for the respondents' own education, current income, and childhood economic status.ResultsAmong respondents, 29.7% of men and 23.0% of women reported their own oral health as fair or poor. Among men, both the fathers' and mothers' education were significantly associated with oral health after adjusting for other socioeconomic indicators. After including the fathers' and mothers' education into the model simultaneously, a significant association remained only for the mothers' education; those whose mothers' educational attainment was junior high school had significantly higher odds ratio for poor oral health (1.90, 95% confidence interval 1.13-3.18) compared with those whose mothers' educational attainment was university or higher. Among women, neither the fathers' nor mothers' education was associated with oral health. Both childhood and current economic statuses were associated with oral health among women.ConclusionsParental education was associated with adult oral health only among men. Among men, the association was stronger for the mothers' education than for the fathers' education. Further research should explore underlying mechanisms by which parental education, especially the mothers' education, affects their sons' oral health in later life.
