| Abstract | Background The Fourth National Oral Health Epidemiological Survey (FNOHES) reported an 89% caries prevalence among adults aged 35–44 in China. This study explored the current prevalence and determinants of dental caries in Guizhou Province, where socioeconomic conditions have changed. We aimed to identify factors influencing dental caries to inform future oral health policies and preventive strategies tailored to the region. Method A total of 2,040 middle-aged adults from 11 districts and counties in Guizhou participated. Categorical variables were analyzed using chi-squared tests, and logistic regression identified key factors. Quantitative measures, such as the DMFT index, were used to assess the overall dental health of the participants. Result The statistical analysis showed a caries prevalence of 79.6% and a mean DMFT of 3.11. Caries were more prevalent in urban areas and among females. Significant factors associated with caries included gender, residence, ethnicity, smoking status, toothpick use, dental visits, and self-rated oral health. Conclusion The prevalence of dental caries remains globally high, as reflected in both developing and developed countries. Targeted interventions, particularly for females, urban residents, and ethnic minorities, are recommended. Public health initiatives should prioritize promoting safer oral hygiene practices and smoking cessation programs, including education on managing post-cessation cravings for sugary foods. Further research, including longitudinal studies, is needed to evaluate intervention effectiveness. |

It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
