Objective.丹麦健康检查调查（DANHES 2007-2008）口腔部分的目的是：（1）建立丹麦成年人口腔健康数据库;（2）探讨一般疾病和生活方式对口腔健康的影响。本文介绍了研究人群、检查方法、问卷调查和基线结果。材料和方法。研究人群包括4402名受试者，年龄在18-96岁之间，连续招募了来自丹麦13个城市的18065名DANHES参与者。口腔部分包括经验证的问卷和临床检查，由三名经过培训和校准的牙科医师在移动的单元中进行。资料以描述性统计、单变数与双变数分析处理。结果平均年龄为54.1岁，60%为女性。平均天然牙数为26.6;平均DMFT/DMFS值为18.9和61.0，并随年龄变化（DMFT 8.7-24.3）。在较年轻的年龄组中，患牙齿腐蚀症的女性比例较高。所有受试者中有40%的平均临床附着丧失3 mm，从18-34岁的4%到75岁以上的80%不等。次优唾液分泌率在女性中比男性更常见（17.7% vs 10.4%），这反映在报告的口干频率上。结论这项广泛的横断面研究提供了一个平台，以获得未来的知识，健康和生活方式相关的因素对口腔疾病的影响。经验证的问卷和临床特征使稳健的分析，虽然结论可能会受到有限的外部效度。
Objective. The aims of the oral part of the Danish Health Examination Survey (DANHES 2007-2008) were (1) to establish an oral health database for adult Danes and (2) to explore the influence of general diseases and lifestyle on oral health. This paper presents the study population, examination methods, questionnaire and baseline results. Materials and methods. The study population comprised 4402 subjects, aged 18-96, consecutively enrolled from 18 065 DANHES participants from 13 municipalities in Denmark. The oral part consisted of a validated questionnaire and a clinical examination, carried out in mobile units by three trained and calibrated dental hygienists. The data were processed with descriptive statistics and mono-and bivariate analyses. Results. The mean age was 54.1 years and 60% were women. The mean number of natural teeth was 26.6; the mean DMFT/DMFS values were 18.9 and 61.0, and varied with age (DMFT 8.7-24.3). A higher proportion of females suffered from dental erosion in the younger age groups. Forty per cent of all subjects had a mean clinical attachment loss 3 mm, varying from 4% among those aged 18-34 to 80% in those over 75. A sub-optimal saliva secretion rate was more common among females than males (17.7% vs 10.4%) and this was reflected by the reported frequency of dry mouth. Conclusion. This extensive cross-sectional study provides a platform for obtaining future knowledge of the impact of health-and lifestyle-related factors on oral diseases. The validated questionnaire and the clinical characteristics enable robust analyses, although the conclusions may be hampered by limited external validity.
