Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to identifying the relationship between exposure to secondhand smoking and oral diseases in adolescents, based on the web-based youth health risk behavior survey from 2020.
Methods
Among the 54,948 adolescent respondents to the 16th youth health risk behavior survey in 2020, this study included a total of 48,867 non-smoking adolescent participants who had never used regular cigarettes, vapes, or e-cigarettes. Analysis of the complex sample survey data was performed by applying weights according to the complex sample provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency. Cross-tabulation analysis by complex sampling using the RaoScott chi-square test and complex-sample t-test was then performed to identify the relationship between subject characteristics and gingival pain and bleeding prevalence. Finally, a binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of secondhand smoking on symptoms of gingival pain and bleeding in non-smoking adolescents. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 version, and the statistical significance level was defined as P<0.05.
Results
Among the participants, periodontal disease symptoms were reported 1.201 times (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.101-1.310) more often in those with exposure to secondhand smoking exposure at home and 1.281 times (95% CI: 1.173-1.398) more often in those with exposure to secondhand smoking in public places than in those who did not report exposure to secondhand smoking.
Conclusions
The study results suggest that exposure to secondhand smoking increases the risk of gingival pain and bleeding in non-smoking South Korean adolescents and is a risk factor for periodontal diseases.
