Diese longitudinale populationsbasierte Studie im Rahmen der Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP) untersuchte die Wechselwirkungen von sozioökonomischen Faktoren und systemischer Entzündung (CRP) auf die Parodontitisprogression und den Zahnverlust. Daten von 2566 Probanden innerhalb eines fünfjährigen Untersuchungszeitraumes wurden analysiert. Untersucht wurde der Einfluss von Bildung, Einkommen, Familienstand, Rauchverhalten und Übergewicht mittels multipler Regressionsanalysen auf Attachmentverlust und Poisson- Regressionsanalyen auf Zahnverlust. Resultierend ergab sich ein signifikanter Zusammenhang zwischen niedriger Bildung und geringem Einkommen auf das Zahnverlustrisiko (IRR 1.63, p < 0.001 und 1.25, p < 0.001) und auch auf die Progression des mittleren klinischen Attachmentverlusts (p < 0.010 und p = 0.046). Ein Anstieg der CRP- Werte war mit niedrigen sozioökonomischen Faktoren sowie mit Rauchen und Übergewicht assoziiert. Ebenso führten niedrige sozio-ökonomische Faktoren, besonders bei Vorhandensein hoher CRP- Werte, zu mehr Zahnverlust (p < 0.001). Übergewicht wirkte sich besonders nachteilig auf den Zahnverlust und den Attachmentverlust bei männlichen Probanden aus. Verheiratete männliche Probanden verzeichneten dagegen eine Abnahme des Attachments- und Zahnverlusts. Die Untersuchung bestätigte den Einfluss sozioökonomischer Faktoren auf die Parodontitisprogression und zeigt, dass hohe CRP-Werte den Einfluss niedriger sozioökonomischer Faktoren auf Zahn- und Attachmentverlust verstärken können.
Purpose
Socioeconomic factors are known to modulate health. Concerning sleep apnea, influences of income, education, work, and living in a partnership are established. However, results differ between national and ethnic groups. Results also differ between various clinical studies and population-based approaches. The goal of our study was to determine if such factors can be verified in the population of Pomerania, Germany.
Methods
A subgroup from the participants of the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania volunteered for an overnight polysomnography. Their data were subjected to an ordinal regressions analysis with age, sex, body mass index (BMI), income, education, work, and life partner as predictors for the apnea–hypopnea index.
Results
Among the subgroup (N = 1209) from the population-based study (N = 4420), significant effects were found for age, sex, and BMI. There were no significant effects for any of the socioeconomic factors.
Conclusion
Significant effects for well-established factors as age, sex, and BMI show that our study design has sufficient power to verify meaningful associations with sleep apnea. The lack of significant effects for the socioeconomic factors suggests their clinical irrelevance in the tested population.
Purpose
The aim is to investigate the associations of the mother’s socioeconomic and lifestyle factors and life satisfaction with the delivery of a small for gestational age (SGA) infant.
Methods
Data from 4598 participants of the population-based birth cohort study Survey of Neonates in Pomerania (SniP) including comprehensive information on pregnancies, mothers, and their offspring in Western Pomerania, Germany were used in this study. The associations were analyzed using linear and logistic regression models.
Results
After logistic regression analysis adjusted for height of the mother, women who delivered SGA infants, had lower education (p < 0.01) and smoked more frequently during pregnancy (p < 0.01) compared with mothers of adequate for gestational age (AGA) neonates. A mother with less than 10 years of education and one who continued smoking during pregnancy had an odds ratio (OR) of 2.23 [95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.44 to 3.46] and 2.68 (95% CI = 2.06–3.49) of having an SGA infant, respectively. There was no association between the employment of the mother (p = 0.28), the monthly income (p = 0.09), the family status (p = 0.80), the number of friendships outside the household that the mother would not wish to relinquish (p = 0.47), the number of people that she could rely on in case of an emergency (p = 0.75), or alcohol consumption prior to (p = 0.14) or during the pregnancy (p = 0.99) with SGA. Finally, women who delivered SGA infants were more frequently dissatisfied with their employment (p = 0.03) and financial status (p < 0.01).
Conclusions
Women who delivered SGA infants had more associated socioeconomic and lifestyle risk factors and were more frequently dissatisfied with their life conditions than mothers of AGA neonates.
