Abstract:

Health surveys have related family cohesion to socioeconomic status and behavioral factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between family cohesion, socioeconomic status, behavioral factors and oral health. This was a cross-sectional study with cluster sampling, in two stages. The random sample of 524 adolescents attending public schools in the city of Piracicaba-SP. Variables were evaluated by self-applicable questionnaires and caries and periodontal disease were assessed by DMF-T and CPI indices. The adolescent´s perception of family cohesion was assessed using the family adaptability and cohesion scale (FACES III). Univariate and multinomial logistic regression shows that adolescents with low family cohesion were more likely than those with medium family cohesion to have low income (OR 2,28 95% CI 1,14- 4,55), presence of caries (OR 2,23 95% CI 1,21-4,09), less than two daily brushings (OR 1,91 95% CI 1,03-3,54). Adolescents with high family cohesion were more likely than those with medium family cohesion to have high income (OR 0,59 95% CI 0,35-0,98) and to have a protective behavior against smoking habit (OR 0,21 95% CI 0,06-0,72). The data shows that adolescent´s perception of family cohesion was associated with behavioral variables, socioeconomic status and oral health, indicating the importance of integral approach to the patient´s health.
