Used National Health and Nutrition Survey data for analysis
Performed correlation and regression analyses using SPSS 23.0
Examined differences between high-risk and general groups in terms of oral health status and socio-demographic factors.
High-risk group had significantly fewer remaining teeth (3.61) compared to general group (23.23) with p<.05.
40.7% of the high-risk group reported chewing discomfort, compared to 22.3% in the general group (p<.05).
Key factors influencing high-risk status included age (OR=1.07), male gender (OR=2.29), education level (OR=2.38), and low health literacy (OR=.96), all with p<.05.
