RESUMO
Propôs-se estimar a prevalência da autopercepção da mastigação e investigar os fatores relacionados à autopercepção regular e ruim. Foram entrevistados e examinados 13.431 adultos, participantes do projeto SBBrasil. Foram realizadas análises descritiva, bivariada (χ2; p < 0,20) e multivariada por meio de regressão logística multinomial (p < 0,05), com IC95%. 55,6% classificaram a mastigação como boa; 24,9%, como regular; e 19,5%, como ruim. Na analise bivariada, todos os fatores foram associados à autopercepção da mastigação regular ou ruim (p < 0,20). No modelo final, os fatores associados tanto com a percepção regular como ruim foram não receber informações sobre como evitar problemas bucais, apresentar menos de 23 dentes remanescentes, necessitar de prótese parcial ou total, perceber a saúde bucal como regular ou ruim/péssima, relatar dor em dentes e gengivas e necessidade de tratamento odontológico. Conclui-se que diversos fatores associam-se à autopercepção da mastigação, principalmente as condições subjetivas, reforçando sua importância como indicador em saúde bucal.
ABSTRACT
This study estimated the prevalence of bad/very bad self-rated mastication and investigated associated factors among Brazilian adults. The sample included 13,431 adults examined and interviewed in the SBBrazil project. Self-rated mastication was combined in three categories good/ very good (the reference), fair, and bad/very bad. Multinomial logistic regression was performed to measure the association between fair and bad/very bad self-rated mastication and all independent variables included in the analysis, with significance set at p < 0.05. 55.6% of participants rated their mastication as good/very good, 24.9% as fair, and 19.5% as bad/very bad. In the final multivariate analysis, factors associated with bad or fair self-rated mastication were receiving no information on how to avoid oral problems; presenting fewer than 23 remaining teeth; requiring total or partial prosthesis; bad/very bad self-rated oral health; gingival pain and/or toothache in the previous year; and need of dental treatment. In conclusion, various factors were associated with self-rated mastication, especially subjective conditions, thus emphasizing its importance as an oral health indicator.
