Synopsis

Oral health studies are generally cross-sectional and seldom report longitudinal follow-up of study participants. The Australian Longitudinal Study of Women's Health offers an opportunity to measure the oral health across a number of surveys, where the same/similar questions were asked; to assess changes in self-reported oral health status and relationships between surveys and potential determinants of oral health, such as socioeconomic status, private health insurance, location, smoking and menopause.
