Resumo(s)
As doenças orais são um desafio global de saúde pública e contam-se entre as doenças não transmissíveis com maior prevalência e para as quais existem estratégias preventivas eficazes. Por esta razão, a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) reconheceu a importância da carga de doenças orais e reafirmou a importância da saúde oral, incluindo-a na Declaração Política sobre a Cobertura Universal de Saúde (2011).
Com o objetivo de caracterizar a autoapreciação do estado da saúde oral, foram analisados dados provenientes do inquérito realizado pelo Instituto Nacional de Saúde Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA), entre setembro e novembro de 2019, com recurso ao painel ECOS. As estatísticas descritivas, bem como as estimativas de prevalência, foram obtidas com ponderação para a idade, sexo, região e desenho amostral. A recolha de dados foi realizada por entrevista telefónica. A maioria da população (53,0%) avaliou o seu estado de saúde oral como bom ou muito bom. Esta avaliação positiva foi mais prevalente entre os indivíduos mais jovens (66,2%), com nível secundário de escolaridade (66,8%) e profissionalmente ativos, especialmente, entre os trabalhadores por conta própria (72,4%), sendo inferior a 50% nas mulheres, nas pessoas com 65 anos de idade, com nenhum ou o nível básico de escolaridade e em reformados. Estes resultados evidenciam desigualdades socioeconómicas e sublinham a necessidade de reforçar políticas de prevenção dirigidas aos grupos mais vulneráveis.
Oral diseases are a global public health challenge and are among the most prevalent noncommunicable diseases. However, there are effective preventive strategies for these diseases, which means they are preventable. For this reason, the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognized the importance of the burden of oral diseases and reaffirmed the importance of oral health by including it in the Political Declaration on Universal Health Coverage (2011). To characterize self-assessment of oral health status, the degree of edentulism, and oral rehabilitation, data from the survey conducted by the National Institute of Health Doutor Ricardo Jorge (INSA) between September and November 2019, in the ECOS panel survey, were analyzed. Descriptive statistics and prevalence estimates were obtained, weighted for age, sex, region, and sample design. Data collection was carried out by telephone interview. The majority of the population (53.0%) rated their oral health status as good or very good. This positive assessment was more prevalent among younger individuals (66.2%), those with secondary level education (66.8%), and those who were professionally active and, in particular, among self-employed workers (72.4%), being below 50% among women, individuals aged ≥65 years, those with no formal education or only basic education, and retirees. These results highlight socioeconomic inequalities and underline the need to strengthen prevention policies aimed at the most vulnerable groups.
