“…In agreement with other studies [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 17 ], this study found that socioeconomic factors (older age and lower education) were associated with edentulism. Other socioeconomic factors (being female and lower wealth status) were in this study in bivariate analysis associated with edentulism, as found in other studies [ 6 , 12 , 13 , 17 , 18 ].…”

“…Factors associated with edentulism include: (1) socioeconomic factors such as increasing age [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], being female [ 12 , 13 , 16 ], lower education [ 14 , 17 ], lower economic status [ 6 , 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], lower social class [ 16 ], health security [ 11 ], and rural residence [ 19 ]; (2) chronic conditions such as asthma [ 20 ], diabetes [ 20 , 21 ], arthritis [ 20 ], angina pectoris [ 22 ], stroke [ 23 ], hypertension [ 24 ] and obesity [ 25 ]; (3) health risk behaviour including smoking [ 12 , 15 , 20 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], former smoking [ 15 , 26 ], inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetables [ 29 , 30 ] and infrequent dental visits [ 11 ]; and, (4) other health-related factors , including functional disability [ 31 ], lower scores on cognitive testing [ 32 , 33 ], poorer self-rated level of general health [ 6 ], social cohesion [ 16 , 34 ], and self-esteem and quality of life [ 33 , 35 , 36 ].

Little information exists about the loss of all one’s teeth (edentulism) among older adults in low- and middle-income countries. This study examines the prevalence of edentulism and associated factors among older adults in a cross-sectional study across six such countries. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO’s) Study on global AGEing and adult health (SAGE) Wave 1 was used for this study with adults aged 50-plus from China (N = 13,367), Ghana (N = 4724), India (N = 7150), Mexico (N = 2315), Russian Federation (N = 3938) and South Africa (N = 3840). Multivariate regression was used to assess predictors of edentulism. The overall prevalence of edentulism was 11.7% in the six countries, with India, Mexico, and Russia has higher prevalence rates (16.3%–21.7%) than China, Ghana, and South Africa (3.0%–9.0%). In multivariate logistic analysis sociodemographic factors (older age, lower education), chronic conditions (arthritis, asthma), health risk behaviour (former daily tobacco use, inadequate fruits and vegetable consumption) and other health related variables (functional disability and low social cohesion) were associated with edentulism. The national estimates and identified factors associated with edentulism among older adults across the six countries helps to identify areas for further exploration and targets for intervention.

“…The study found, in agreement with previous studies [ 2 , 15 , 47 – 50 ], that increasing age and in bivariate analysis having no education were associated with edentulism. It is possible that having no education translates into lower oral health knowledge and lower oral health services utilization where available [ 46 ].…”

BackgroundLittle information exists about the loss of all one’s teeth (edentulism) among older adults in Indonesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of edentulism and associated factors among older adults in Indonesia.MethodThis study examines the self-reported prevalence of edentulism and associated factors among older adults (50 years and older) in a cross-sectional national study using the Indonesia Family Life Survey IFLS-5, 2014/15. The community-based study uses a multi-stage stratified sampling design to interview and assess household members, with a household response rate of over 90%.ResultsThe overall prevalence of edentulism was 7.2, 29.8% in 80 years and older and 11.8% in those with no formal education. In adjusted Poisson regression analysis, older age, living in five major island groups and having functional disability were associated with edentulism. In addition, among men, having quit and current tobacco use and among women, having low social capital were associated with edentulism. Further, in adjusted analysis, among men, edentulism was positively associated with hypertension and negatively associated with diabetes, and among women, edentulism was associated with functional disability.ConclusionsResults suggest that overall and/or among men or women that older age, living in five major island groups, having functional disability, tobacco quitters and users and those with low social capital was associated with edentulism. The identified associated factors of edentulism may be utilized in oral health programmes targeting older adults in Indonesia.

“…In a large population-based study among 35–44-year-old Iranians, the prevalence of edentulism was estimated to be 3% [6]. In a study carried out among 1545 Turkish elderly, the prevalence of edentulism was 48% [22]. A systematic review of 73 studies in Europe showed that, in many European countries, edentulism is already rare among people of working age or up to 60 years of age, whereas there are still many edentulous subjects in the age group above 65—in studies from the 1990s, the prevalence varied between 15% and 72% [11].…”

Objectives. To investigate the prevalence of tooth loss and different prosthetic rehabilitations among Iranian adults, as well as the potential determinants of tooth loss. Methods. In a cross-sectional community-based study conducted among 8094 Iranian adults living in Isfahan province, a self-administered questionnaire was used to assess epidemiologic features of tooth loss. Results. Thirty-two percent of subjects had all their teeth, 58.6% had lost less than 6, and 7.2% of participants had lost more than 6 teeth. One hundred and sixty-nine individuals (2.2%) were edentulous. Among participants, 2.3% had single jaw removable partial denture, 3.6% had complete removable denture in both jaws, and 4.6% had fixed prosthesis. Others reported no prosthetic rehabilitation (89.5%). In the age subgroup analysis (≤35 and >35 years old) tooth loss was more prevalent among men than women (OR = 2.8 and 1.9, resp., P < 0.01). Also, in both age groups, current and former smokers had higher levels of tooth loss than nonsmokers (P < 0.001 and P < 0.05, resp.). In addition, tooth loss was positively related to metabolic abnormality for age group >35 years (adjusted OR = 1.29, P < 0.01). Conclusions. Tooth loss is highly prevalent in Iranian adult population. Community programs promoting oral health for prevention of tooth loss should be considered taking into account its major determinants including lower educational level, male gender, smoking, and metabolic abnormality.
