Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the general characteristics of those in their twenties and thirties, determine the association between the frequency and number of sugar-containing food consumptions and dental clinic visit, identify the factors possibly affecting dental clinic use, and suggest the need for a customized oral health program.
Methods: The 2019 raw data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VIII-1) were used to make a sample of 1,141 respondents aged 20-39, with the exception of missing data. Frequency analysis was performed for variation in the general characteristics, sugar-containing food consumption, and dental clinic use, and descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used to estimate the mean and standard deviation.
Results: As for the effects of the general characteristics, health behavior, and sugar-containing food consumption on dental clinic use, smoking and confectionery and beverage with lactic acid bacteria among the types of sugar-containing food were found to be significant factors.
Conclusion: As for dental clinic use by the frequency of consuming sugar-containing food, the more consumption of processed fruits, confectionery, and beverage with lactic acid bacteria, the higher frequency of dental clinic use; in particular, the larger number of times consuming beverage with lactic acid bacteria, the higher frequency of dental clinic use. It is necessary to investigate and analyze these relevant factors and develop oral health promotion programs and make a plan for oral disease prevention projects with the objective of managing oral health and nutrition efficiently, taking the characteristics of each target into consideration.
