Multimorbidities associated with bruxism: a population-based study. Campinas- Brazil

Abstract Background Bruxism is a relevant topic in public health, as it represents an increasingly frequent parafunctional activity and also for presenting musculoskeletal and dental effects affecting the health and well-being of the affected population. The reviewed literature shows that bruxism is associated with some health problems, but with multimorbidities has not yet been investigated. Objective To identify the association of bruxism with a multimorbidity pattern. Methods A population-based cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample composed of 1986 adults (≥20 years of age). This study used data from the Third Health Survey of the City of Campinas conducted in 2014 and 2015 (ISACamp 2014/15). A principal component analysis was performed to identify in which multimorbidity pattern, present in the population, bruxism is included. From this pattern, the variable number of diseases was created (0; 1; 2 to 4; 5 or more). The prevalence of bruxism was established according to this variable and associations were tested using the Rao-Scott chi-square test and Poisson regression. Results The factor analysis revealed three relevant patterns of multimorbidity in the population of Campinas. Bruxism was part of the pattern also composed of: asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, allergy, migraine/headache, emotional/mental problem, dizziness/vertigo and back pain. The prevalence of bruxism increased more than fivefold in the concomitant presence of five or more of these conditions (PR = 5.35;95%CI:3.35 to 8.45). Conclusions Knowledge about the association of bruxism with a pattern of multimorbidities can show the direction of health actions in multidisciplinary teamwork, prioritizing the reduction in harm caused by the simultaneous presence of health problems associated with bruxism. We also emphasize the possible role of bruxism as an indicator of multimorbidities, especially those associated with the pattern found. Key messages Bruxism was more associated with multimorbidities of the pattern composed of asthma, rhinitis, sinusitis, dizziness/vertigo, migraine/headache, emotional/mental problem, back pain and allergy. The concomitant presence these conditions increased the prevalence of bruxism up to fivefold.

Objective: To know the prevalence & pattern of dental health problems among Bangladeshi people. Study design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Place of study: Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka. Period of study: From September2011 to February2012. Sample selection: In this study, A total of 500 patients (250 males & 250 females) were selected from Orthodontic department of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital. Results: This was a cross sectional study conducted among 500 patients attending at the department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Dhaka Dental College and Hospital. Gingivitis was the commonest problem in Bangladeshi people according to present study. The second most dental problem was dental caries. The prevalence of orthodontic problems was comparable to the observations made by others. Males and females are equally affected with slight variations in the nature of problems among both genders. Conclusion: Good oral health is essential to improve individual overall health & well-being. We urge to take this information & use it for program planning & advocating for the health of patients, specially for the patients who will receive orthodontic treatment. Therefore, current orthodontic students should receive more education & training before the management of malocclusion to improve the overall quality of care for orthodontic patients.

Decomposition Approach

ObjectiveThe present inquiry set to determine the economic inequality in history of stillbirth and understanding determinants of unequal distribution of stillbirth in Tehran, Iran.MethodsA population-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 5170 pregnancies in Tehran, Iran, since 2015. Principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to measure the asset-based economic status. Concentration index was used to measure socioeconomic inequality in stillbirth and then decomposed into its determinants.ResultsThe concentration index and its 95% CI for stillbirth was −0.121 (−0.235 to −0.002). Decomposition of the concentration index showed that mother’s education (50%), mother’s occupation (30%), economic status (26%) and father’s age (12%) had the highest positive contributions to measured inequality in stillbirth history in Tehran. Mother’s age (17%) had the highest negative contribution to inequality.ConclusionsStillbirth is unequally distributed among Iranian women and is mostly concentrated among low economic status people. Mother-related factors had the highest positive and negative contributions to inequality, highlighting specific interventions for mothers to redress inequality.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of the present study was to explore whether dietary patterns (DP) are associated with nutritional status indicators among adolescent Mozambican girls.Design/Setting/SubjectsIn this population-based cross-sectional study we used the FFQ data of 547 girls aged 14–19 years from Central Mozambique to derive dietary patterns by means of principal component analysis. We used two-level linear regression models to examine the associations between the DP and anthropometric and biochemical indicators of nutritional status.ResultsWe identified three DP: ‘Urban bread and fats’, ‘Rural meat and vegetables’ and ‘Rural cassava and coconut’. The ‘Urban bread and fats’ DP was positively associated with BMI-for-age Z-score (BMIZ), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold (P for all<0·001) and blood Hb (P=0·025). A negative association was observed between the ‘Urban bread and fats’ DP and serum folate (P<0·001). The ‘Rural meat and vegetables’ DP and the ‘Rural cassava and coconut’ DP were associated negatively with BMIZ, MUAC and triceps skinfold (P for all<0·05), but the ‘Rural meat and vegetables’ DP was associated positively with serum ferritin (P=0·007).ConclusionsUrban and rural DP were associated with nutritional status indicators. In a low-resource setting, urban diets may promote body fat storage and blood Hb concentrations but compromise serum folate concentration. It is important to continue valuing the traditional, rural foods that are high in folate.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of low back pain and some related variables among adults of both genders.Methods: Was conduct a cross-sectional study of population-based in the urban area of Presidente Prudente, São Paulo. The sample consisted of 743 adult residents for over two years in this city. Low back pain, quality of sleep and physical activity were collected through face to face interview at the residence of respondents. Was used the chi-square test to analyze the association between variables, later was created tree multivariate models with hierarchical inclusion of confounding factors.Results: The prevalence of low back pain reported last year was 50.2% (95% CI: 46.6, 53.8), and the last week 32.3% (95% CI: 28.9, 35.6). Was association among low back pain and females (p-value = 0.031), older age, lower education, altered sleep and overweight, the adjusted model found that people over the age of 45 years (45 to 59.9 years, OR = 13.1 [1.72-98.5] and ≥ 60 years, OR = 9.10 [1.15-71.7]), with some alteration of sleep (OR = 3.21 [1.84-5.61]) and obese (OR = 2.33 [1:26 to 4:33]) seems to be a risk group for low back pain.Conclusion: The prevalence of low back pain is high and obese people aged over 45 years, with any sleep disturbance are a group at higher risk for low back pain.
