BACKGROUND: Development of @entity2520 ( @entity2520 ) may be affected by socioeconomic status. This study examined the relationship between occupational status and @entity2520 in a 5-year prospective cohort of Japanese workers. METHODS: In total, 19,633 @entity1 had initial examinations at the Aichi Health Promotion Foundation, of whom 8210 @entity1 aged 20 years or older did not have @entity2520 . Follow-up examinations were conducted for 3757 @entity1 , accounting for 45.8% of baseline @entity1 . Ultimately, 3390 @entity1 were analyzed according to the criterion of job classification at baseline, which was based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations, 1987. Oral examinations were performed using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). The CPI scores were coded as follows: healthy (score of 0); @entity548 after probing (1); dental calculus (2); shallow pockets (3); and deep pockets (4). @entity1 with one or more sextants with a score >2 were diagnosed with @entity2520 . Poisson regression analysis was performed to adjust for age and other potential confounders. RESULTS: Overall, 31.6% of @entity1 and 23.8% of @entity1 had developed @entity2520 (CPI scores of 3 or 4). The adjusted relative risk (RR) for @entity2520 (CPI scores of 3 or 4) in @entity1 was not significant. On the other hand, the adjusted RRs for @entity2520 (CPI score of 4) in @entity1 were 2.52-, 2.39-, and 2.74-fold higher for skilled workers, sales @entity1 , and drivers, respectively, than for professionals. In contrast, we found no gradient in @entity1 . CONCLUSIONS: We found a gradient related to the risk of developing @entity2520 according to occupational status among @entity1 in a Japanese worker population.

Is there an occupational status gradient in the development of XXXX in Japanese workers? A 5-year prospective cohort study.
