Estudo SAIMI : hábitos de escovagem dentária em crianças e adolescentes imigrantes do subcontinente indiano em Lisboa
| Summary: | Objectives: The number of child and adolescent immigrants from the Indian subcontinent has been increasing in Portugal. Dental caries is the most common chronic disease in these ages, and toothbrushing is the most effective prevention measure. The objective was to characterize the toothbrushing habits of immigrant children and adolescents from the Indian subcontinent, living in Lisbon. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, children and adolescents (aged 2 to 16 years) who were 1st and 2nd generation immigrants from the Indian subcontinent (Bangladesh, India and Pakistan) living in Lisbon were selected based on a chain referral sampling technique and using privileged access interviewers. Descriptive analysis of sociodemographic characteristics and toothbrushing habits and a multifactorial logistical model were performed, with toothbrushing twice a day as the dependent variable. Results: Data was obtained from 278 individuals (66% male, mean age of 7.6±3.5 years), 48% of which brushed their teeth twice a day. The probability of toothbrushing twice a day was significantly and independently associated with 1st generation immigrants and older age groups. Conclusions: In immigrant children from the Indian subcontinent, the frequency of toothbrushing twice a day is very low in pre-school ages, making it necessary to strengthen recommendations for starting toothbrushing with the eruption of the first deciduous teeth, as well as the adoption of targeted health promotion programs. |
