  1. Dependent variable: poor self-evaluation of oral health
  2. Independent variables: Gender, BMI categories, dmft score, DMFT score, DAI score, total number of decayed teeth
  3. *Unadjusted OR were calculated separately for each individual variable
  4. **Model adjusted for gender, BMI categories, dmft score, DMFT score, DAI score; log likelihood chi-square: 31.364, Prob > chi-square: 0.001, Pseudo R-square: 0.043
