This book was released on 2014 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: he 2010 Indian Health Service (IHS) oral health basic screening survey (BSS) of oral health status for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) children ages 1 through 5 years nationwide found substantial differences in caries prevalence between different IHS service areas. The reasons for these differences are not well understood. Socioeconomic status (SES) may be a related factor, as it is well established that SES is a strong predictor of caries prevalence. However, it is possible that some IHS service areas have managed to achieve relatively low caries prevalence despite low SES. This observational study examined associations between caries prevalence among preschool-aged AI/AN children and county-level SES to identify service areas in which caries prevalence was not well explained by SES.Two sources of data were used for this study. Caries prevalence data among children ages 1 through 5 years from 76 study sites was drawn from the 2010 IHS BSS. Demographic, economic and social information describing the AI/AN population in the county for each of the 76 sites were selected from the American Community Survey. Associations between county SES characteristics and study site caries prevalence were examined using correlation and linear regression analyses. Of the 76 study sites evaluated during the 2010 IHS BSS, caries outcomes and SES indicators varied widely. The percentage of children having experienced dental decay ranged from 14% to 88%, and percentage of children with untreated decay ranged from 0.5% to 74%. Percentage of decayed teeth overall ranged from 2.7% to 37.9%. Median annual income of the county ranged from $17,778 to $63,000; unemployment ranged from 6.4% to 32.9%, and percentage of the AI/AN population with a bachelor's degree ranged from 3% to 22.5%. Median income, unemployment, and educational all showed some correlation with caries prevalence. Linear regression analysis found that of the SES indicators studied, the SES indicator most predictive of caries prevalence was the percentage of the population having attained a bachelor's degree or a higher level of college education (part R2 11% - 22%). Multivariate linear regression analysis adjusting for median income, % unemployment, and % bachelor's degree found that these three SES indicators taken together can explain 29% of the variation observed in percent of teeth with decay, 21% of the variation in any decay experience, and 16% of the variation in any untreated decay. For many study sites, caries prevalence was much higher or lower than what would be predicted based on SES indicators. Sites with the highest and lowest observed caries prevalence tended to also be the sites with highest and lowest observed-predicted values: the healthiest and least healthy areas remained the healthiest and least healthy even after accounting for SES. Caries prevalence within the IHS BSS communities studied was not always well explained by SES, indicating that other factors may be contributing to caries prevalence. These communities should be studied further to discover what factors may be more related to caries prevalence.

This book was released on 2015-08-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines health trajectories and health transitions at different stages of the life course, including childhood, adulthood and later life. It provides findings that assess the role of biological and social transitions on health status over time. The essays examine a wide range of health issues, including the consequences of military service on body mass index, childhood obesity and cardiovascular health, socio-economic inequalities in preventive health care use, depression and anxiety during the child rearing period, health trajectories and transitions in people with cystic fibrosis and oral health over the life course. The book addresses theoretical, empirical and methodological issues as well as examines different national contexts, which help to identify factors of vulnerability and potential resources that support resilience available for specific groups and/or populations. Health reflects the ability of individuals to adapt to their social environment. This book analyzes health as a dynamic experience. It examines how different aspects of individual health unfold over time as a result of aging but also in relation to changing socioeconomic conditions. It also offers readers potential insights into public policies that affect the health status of a population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. This handbook synthesizes and analyzes the growing knowledge base on life course health development (LCHD) from the prenatal period through emerging adulthood, with implications for clinical practice and public health. It presents LCHD as an innovative field with a sound theoretical framework for understanding wellness and disease from a lifespan perspective, replacing previous medical, biopsychosocial, and early genomic models of health. Interdisciplinary chapters discuss major health concerns (diabetes, obesity), important less-studied conditions (hearing, kidney health), and large-scale issues (nutrition, adversity) from a lifespan viewpoint. In addition, chapters address methodological approaches and challenges by analyzing existing measures, studies, and surveys. The book concludes with the editors’ research agenda that proposes priorities for future LCHD research and its application to health care practice and health policy. Topics featured in the Handbook include: The prenatal period and its effect on child obesity and metabolic outcomes. Pregnancy complications and their effect on women’s cardiovascular health. A multi-level approach for obesity prevention in children. Application of the LCHD framework to autism spectrum disorder. Socioeconomic disadvantage and its influence on health development across the lifespan. The importance of nutrition to optimal health development across the lifespan. The Handbook of Life Course Health Development is a must-have resource for researchers, clinicians/professionals, and graduate students in developmental psychology/science; maternal and child health; social work; health economics; educational policy and politics; and medical law as well as many interrelated subdisciplines in psychology, medicine, public health, mental health, education, social welfare, economics, sociology, and law.

This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Medicine - Dentistry, , language: English, abstract: Oral health is related to general health and quality of life, which emphasizes the importance of retaining good functional dentition. It is associated with development of healthy personality, perception and enables an individual to speak, eat and socialize without active disease and discomfort. The role of nutrition is also related to poor oral health affecting growth and cognitive development that leads to medical complications of untreated diseases, and result in poor social outcomes. Despite the great improvement in oral health, many countries still encounter oral diseases which are widely prevalent, more so in the developing countries like India. Dental diseases, such as Dental caries, Periodontal disease and Oral mucosal lesions, are the major public health problem throughout the world with the high prevalence due to altered life style and eating habits. The burden of Oral disease is particularly high for the disadvantageous and poor population groups in both developing and developed countries. Dental caries is an epidemic disease affecting humans of all ages in regions of most common disease of children. Among all the dental diseases, the prevalence of dental caries in India is increasing referred as “Disease of civilization.” According to Centre for Disease Control & Prevention, dental caries is perhaps the most prevalent infectious disease. Although it is well understood and preventable but still a global problem among children and young adults. More than 40% of children have caries by the time they reach kindergarten.

Evidence regarding the impact of oral rehabilitation on nutritional status is evaluated, and strategies for changing dietary behaviour in order to promote oral health are described. Nutrition and Oral Health will be an ideal source of information for all who are seeking a clearly written update on the subject.
Download or read book Prevalence and Severity of Dental Fluorosis in the United States 1999 2004 written by Eugenio D. Beltrán-Aguilar and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dental fluorosis refers to changes in the appearance of tooth enamel that are caused by long-term ingestion of fluoride during the time teeth are forming. Studies conducted in the 1930s showed that the severity of tooth decay was lower and dental fluorosis was higher in areas with more fluoride in the drinking water. In response to these findings, community water fluoridation programs were developed to add fluoride to drinking water to reach an optimal level for preventing tooth decay, while limiting the chance of developing dental fluorosis. By the 1980s, studies in selected U.S. communities reported an increase in dental fluorosis, paralleling the expansion of water fluoridation and the increased availability of other sources of ingested fluoride, such as fluoride toothpaste (if swallowed) and fluoride supplements. This report describes the prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States and changes in the prevalence and severity of dental fluorosis among adolescents between 1986-1987 and 1999-2004. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999-2004 and the 1986-1987 National Survey of Oral Health in U.S. School Children." - p. 1.
Download or read book Social Determinants of Health in Non communicable Diseases written by Katsunori Kondo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. This open access book is the first compilation that reviews a wide range of social determinants of health (SDHs) for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and healthy ageing in Japan. With the highest life expectancy and the largest elderly population in the world, Japan has witnessed health inequality by region and social class becoming more prevalent since the 2000s. The first half of this volume describes in detail major NCDs, such as cancers, heart and kidney diseases, diabetes, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. The second half, on the other hand, explores various SDHs relating to healthy ageing. All chapters review and focus on SDHs, particularly health inequality associated with socio-economic status and social capital, which are widely addressed in the field of social epidemiology. The book makes the argument that “Health for All” advocated by the WHO should be implemented based on social justice and benefits for the greater society. Public health researchers and policymakers, both in Japan and other nations, will gain scientific evidence from this book to prepare for the coming era as ageing becomes a global issue.
