Abstract:

Demographic and socioeconomic conditions play an important role in individuals’ toot loss, however, there are few scientific evidences about the influence of social capital on this outcome. The aim of this study was to describe the tooth loss profile of adults aged 35-44 years, residents of the surrounding area of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. This cross-sectional exploratory study comprised a sample of 1,013 adults. The dependent variable was tooth loss. Exploratory variables were social capital, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Chi-squared Automatic Interaction Detector (CHAID) was used to map adults tooth loss profile which was explained by low levels of social capital (47.0%; p<0.001), olders (60.2%; p<0.001), and low educational attainment (66.3%; p=0.022). In the high social capital group, age was the determinant factor of tooth loss, regardless educational attainment or per capita income. In conclusion, at the individual level, social capital, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics explained adults tooth loss profile. Individual social capital may have attenuated the negative influence of socioeconomic factors in the studied population.
