Social determinants of oral health: conditions linked to socioeconomic inequalities in oral health in the Australian population
Introduction
Social determinants of oral health: conditions linked
to socioeconomic inequalities in oral health in the
Australian population illustrates the social distribution of oral health status in the Australian
adult population. It draws links between material, psychosocial and behavioural factors with oral health
status. Among adults in the labour force it highlights links between socially produced work conditions and
oral health status. It looks back in time to social and psychosocial conditions of childhood and links those
experiences with contemporaneous outcomes in adulthood.
This thought provoking publication leaves one
wondering to what extent society should help people cope with the social conditions of their lives and to
what extent those social conditions themselves should be addressed to improve oral health.
