摘要
目的：描述广东省成年人的口腔健康行为及分析影响牙科服务使用的因素。方法：通过多阶段整群抽样方法从城市和农村抽取３５～４４ 岁组１ ５７３ 人和６５～７４ 岁组１ ５１５ 人为样本，用结构式问卷由经培训的问卷人员进行面对面问卷调查。结果：被检测的有牙齿的成年人基本都有每天刷牙习惯并使用牙膏，但大部分人不知道他们使用的牙膏是否含氟。只有２３％ 的中年人和２４ ％ 的老年人在１ 年内使用过牙科服务。不看牙的主要原因是自觉没有需要和问题不严重。他们很少接受预防性的牙科服务。社会经济因素和自觉的口腔健康状况影响牙科服务的使用。结论：广东成人牙科服务使用率低并多为口腔疾病症状所驱使，其口腔健康行为急需改善。
Objective:To describe oral health behaviors in adults in Guangdong, China and to determine the factors influencing utilization of dental services. Methods: The study sample comprised 1 573 35～44 year old and 1 515 65～74 year old Guangdong residents recruited from urban and rural areas through multi stage cluster sampling. The subjects were interviewed by trained interviewers using a structured questionnaire. Results:Almost all dentate adults brushed their teeth every day and used toothpaste but most of them did not know if the toothpaste they used contained fluoride. Only 23% of the middle aged and 24% of the elderly had visited a dentist within a year. The most common reasons given by the subjects for not having visited a dentist in the past 3 years were no perceived need and the problems not serious. They seldom received preventive dental services. Socio economic factors and perceived oral health status influenced the utilization of dental services. Conclusion:Dental service utilization of Guangdong adults was low and was mainly symptom driven. Their oral health behaviors need to be improved urgently.
