The influence of sense of coherence on the relationship between childhood socioeconomic status and adult oral health‐related behaviours

Abstract

The relationship between childhood SES and adult oral health-related behaviours was mainly mediated by adulthood SES, and to a much less extent by SOC. A stronger SOC was significantly associated with better adult oral health-related behaviours, after controlling for the effect of adulthood SES and demographic characteristics of the participants.
