Abstract：Objective To investigate the status of dental caries in the middle-aged and elderly in Hetian region of Xinjiang, to analyze its influencing factors, and to provide suggestions and references for formulating strategies for dental caries prevention and treatment. Methods From June 2022 to February 2023, 850 rural permanent residents from Hetian region of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were collected as the research subjects. A questionnaire survey was carried out to collect the subjects’ general information and oral hygiene habits, and then coronal and root caries detection was performed. Single factor chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify the factors influencing dental caries among the middle-aged and elderly. Results The results of oral health examination displayed thatthe prevalence rates of dental crown caries and dental root caries were 95.25% and 27.88% respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that advanced age and higher frequency of eating before bed were risk factors for dental caries in Hetian region of Xinjiang (P<0.05). Evening toothbrushing, toothbrushing in morning and evening, and post-meal toothbrushing were protective factors for dental crown caries as compared with morning toothbrushing (P<0.05). Drinking groundwater, advanced age, and higher frequency of eating before bed were risk factors for dental root caries in Hetian region of Xinjiang (P<0.05). Compared with horizontal toothbrushing, vertical toothbrushing and horizontal toothbrushing+vertical toothbrushing were protective factors for dental root caries (P<0.05). Conclusion This survey showed that the prevalence rates of dental crown and root caries were high among the rural middle-aged and elderly in Hetian region of Xinjiang. The results suggest that oral health publicity in Hetian rural areas needs to be further strengthened so as to develop good oral hygiene habits. Moreover, further enhancing the investment of resources for oral hygiene is of great significance to prevent the occurrence of oral diseases.
