Objectives :We targeting Korean adults to assess their food intake and food patterns and we wanted to determine the correlation of these factors with oral disease. Research was conducted by utilizing the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005(the 3rd term) in order to offer basic data to develop a nutritional policy and a nutritional program for the future prevention from oral disease.
Methods :The subjects in this study were 6,526 adults who were more than 19 years old among 9,047 persons who participated in the food intake survey and who completed the health interview survey. The statistical analysis was done by using the SPSS 12.0 program.
Results :1. As a result of analyzing the answers for having dental caries and periodontal disease according to the general characteristics, a higher educational level leads to a greater incidence of dental caries and periodontal disease according to annual personal recognition(p<0.001). It was found that a greater household monthly income leads to a smaller incidence of dental caries and periodontal disease according to annual personal recognition(p<0.001). Also, the survey subjects, who reside in Dong had a higher incidence of dental caries(p<0.01) and periodontal disease(p<0.05) according to annual personal recognition. For gender, the incidence of dental caries and periodontal disease was higher for women than for men, according to personal recognition, yet the difference was not statistically significant. 2. As a result of analyzing the food-group factors that have an influence upon dental caries, a lesser intake of protein(p<0.05) such as meats, fishes, eggs, and beans, and vegetables & fruits(p<0.01), and oil & fat(p<0.05) and a greater intake of saccharide(p<0.05) have an influence upon periodontal disease, and the difference were statistically significant. 3. As a result of analyzing the nutrient factors that have influence upon both major oral illnesses, a lesser intake of vitamin C had an influence upon dental caries, and a lesser less intake of fat and vitamin C was indicated to lead to influencing the incidence of periodontal disease, and a statistically significant difference was shown(p<0.05).
Conclusion :From the above results, as a result of surveying and analyzing the importance of the food intake as related to the incidence of 2 major oral illnesses, further research is necessary to develop a nutritional policy and nutritional program in order to prevent oral illness.
