Abstract: Buscou-se investigar os fatores associados a cárie dentária, sangramento gengival e perda dentária, em adultos de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família (USF), de Salvador-BA. Trata-se de um estudo transversal com 245 indivíduos, a partir de um questionário estruturado sobre aspectos sociodemográficos, hábitos de vida, comportamentos em saúde bucal e morbidade bucal autorreferida. A renda familiar mostrou efeito protetor sobre a cárie autorreferida (ORajustada= 0,17; IC95%=0,05-0,55), assim como o uso de fio dental (ORajustada=0,33; IC95%=0,16-0,69) e a atividade física (ORajustada= 0,46; IC95%= 0,23-0,91). A idade aumentou a perda dentária (ORajustada5,64; IC95%=2,82-11,29), assim como ser vinculado à programa social governamental (ORajustada= 2,05; IC95%= 1,05-3,98), enquanto a renda familiar teve efeito protetor (ORajustada=0,26; IC95%= 0,08-0,82). Os autorrelatos de cárie dentária e perda dentária foram associados com variáveis socioeconômicas, comportamentais e individuais.FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH SELF-REPORTED ORAL MORBIDITYThis study aimed to investigate the factors associated with dental caries, gingival bleeding and tooth loss in adults from a Family Health Unit (FHU) in Salvador, Bahia. This was a cross-sectional study with 245 individuals, based on a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects, lifestyle habits, oral health behaviors and self-reported oral morbidity. Family income showed a protective effect on self-reported caries (adjusted OR = 0.17; 95% CI = 0.05-0.55), as did the use of dental floss (adjusted OR = 0.33; 95% CI = 0.16-0.69) and physical activity (adjusted OR = 0.46; 95% CI = 0.23-0.91). Age increased tooth loss (adjusted OR 5.64; 95% CI = 2.82-11.29), as did being enrolled in a government social program (adjusted OR = 2.05; 95% CI = 1.05-3.98), while household income had a protective effect (adjusted OR = 0.26; 95% CI = 0.08-0.82). Self-reported dental caries and tooth loss were associated with socioeconomic, behavioral, and individual variables.
