In order to develop future prevention and treatment programs for the rapidly expanding elderly population on fixed incomes in San Antonio, taking into consideration the possible different needs of the large Hispanic and non-Hispanic populations, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio proposes to conduct a senior adult oral health survey at a sample of nine Metro Comprehensive Nutrition Sites serving approximately 1,000 persons 55 years of age and older. Because of 1) the increased prevalence of oral cancer with age, 2) American Cancer Society concern with long-term effects of tobacco and alcohol use, and 3) the increased prevalence of diabetes mellitus among Hispanics, a health history also will be taken to determine presence of diabetes and tobacco and alcohol use (by type, length of time of use, amount, and frequency of use). Comparisons will be made of oral health indices between Hispanics and non-Hispanics, tobacco and alcohol users and non-users, and subjects with and without diabetes mellitus. Levels of education will also be compared. The NIDR National Survey of Adult Dental Health form will be used to record data on oral health status, but will be adapted to include data on the presence of oral soft tissue lesions. Descriptive and univariate statistics will be used to make the comparisons. (If a lesion looks suspicious, subjects will be referred to the Health Science Center for biopsy, diagnosis, and treatment. Pathology reports will be forwarded to the researchers.) This study will help dental practitioners in the community, the school, and in public health to: 1) better understand the oral health problems of elderly Hispanics and non-Hispanics on fixed incomes and with varying educational backgrounds, 2) understand the relationships of tobacco and alcohol use and diabetes and oral health problems of this population, and 3) help dental health planners develop dental health programs for this type of population.

为了制定未来的预防和治疗方案， 圣安东尼奥靠固定收入生活的老年人口迅速增加， 考虑到大部分国家可能有不同的需要， 西班牙裔和非西班牙裔人口，德克萨斯大学健康 科学中心在圣安东尼奥建议进行高级成人口腔 在九个麦德龙综合营养点抽样进行的健康调查 为大约1 000名55岁及以上的人提供服务。 因为 1)随着年龄的增长，口腔癌的患病率增加，2）美国癌症 社会关注烟草和酒精使用的长期影响，以及3） 西班牙裔人糖尿病患病率的增加， 病史也将被用来确定糖尿病和烟草存在 和酒精使用（按类型，使用时间长度，数量和频率） 使用）。 西班牙裔美国人之间的口腔健康指数比较 和非西班牙裔，烟草和酒精使用者和非使用者，以及受试者 有和没有糖尿病。 教育水平也将 比较了 NIDR全国成人牙齿健康调查表将用于记录 口腔健康状况的数据，但将进行调整， 口腔软组织病变的存在。 描述性和单变量 我们会以统计数字作比较。 (If病变看起来 可疑，受试者将被转诊至健康科学中心， 活检、诊断和治疗。 病理报告将转发至 研究人员）。 这项研究将有助于牙科医生在社区，学校， 1）更好地了解口腔健康问题， 老年西班牙裔和非西班牙裔的固定收入和不同的 教育背景，2）了解烟草和 酒精使用和糖尿病和口腔健康问题， 3)帮助牙齿健康规划师为这类人制定牙齿健康计划 人口。
