Abstract

|
|
Objectives: The study aimed to compare the periodontal tissue status in middle-aged and elderly people before and after scaling health insurance coverage, using data from the 2013 and 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.
Methods: Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 24.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). A total of 5,109 people were included in the study, including 2,593 persons from 2013 and 2,516 from 2018, whose insurance was scaled according to the following age groups: 40～64 years and 65 years or older.
Results: The factors affecting the periodontal tissue status of the middle-aged and the elderly from the time when insurance began to cover tartar removal (a method of preventing and treating periodontal disease) differed significantly after five years.
Conclusions: It is necessary to establish measures to improve access to oral health education for the prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases in the middle-aged and elderly population.
