Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the association between high job strain and self-perceived oral health. Method: Data were obtained through a self-administered questionnaire with 3253 administrative staff from a university in Rio de Janeiro. Job stress was measured using the Brazilian version of the Demand- Control-Support Questionnaire. Ordinal logistic regression was fitted for high strain and oral health and adjusted for three blocks of variables: 1) socio-demographic; 2) other distal variables; 3) oral health and use of the dental service. Results: Workers exposed to high strain (OR=1.66; 95%CI: 1.38-2.03) and to passive job (OR=1.35; 95%CI: 1.14-1.59) had greater chances of perceiving worse oral health, when compared with those exposed to low-strain job. No association was observed with those exposed to active work (OR=1.03; 95%CI: 0.86-1.21). However, in the multiple regression model, these estimates lost statistical significance, namely: high strain (OR=1.20; 95%CI: 0.96-1.51), passive job (OR=1.09; 95%CI: 0.91-1.32) and active job (OR=1.06; 95%CI: 0.88-1.28). Conclusion: Workers exposed to high job strain presented worse self-reported oral health, which seems to be mainly explained by a combination of low income, smoking, worse self-rated health, many teeth loss, dental pain and irregular use of dental services.
