Resumen

ALVAREZ-VAZ, Ramón et al. Common risk and indicators of non-communicable diseases and oral health. Odontoestomatología [online]. 2024, vol.26, n.44, e234.  Epub 01-Dic-2024. ISSN 0797-0374.  https://doi.org/10.22592/ode2024n44e234.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) share risk factors for their development with oral pathologies and can be addressed jointly through the common risk approach. The aim of this work was to compare the definitions and indicators of oral health risk factors and NCDs in six selected Uruguayan epidemiological studies.

The risk factors surveyed, the way in which data were collected and the risk definitions for each one were systematized. It was found that the objective of each study was different, with discrepancies in the variables and indicators chosen as well as in their definition, operationalization and way of collecting data.

It would be important to have unified criteria and systematized and integrated information to make health decisions regarding the individual and collective approach to NCDs, as well as to include oral health when addressing NCDs.

Palabras clave : Noncommunicable Diseases; Risk Factors; Oral Health.
