The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recently published a position paper that advocated for removal
of fluoride from community drinking water - ✔✔False
Periodontal disease likely contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, but the relationship
(between periodontal disease and CVD) is not a very strong one, - ✔✔True
The longer plaque and tartar are on teeth the less harmful they become - ✔✔False
According to the HSCIC (2013) as cited in Aljafari et al (2015) ______________________________ is the
main reason for hospital admissions of 5-9 year old (English) children.
General anaesthesia
Tooth extractions
Dental caries
Periodontitis
TMJ - ✔✔Tooth Extractions
According to Aljafari et al (2015) oral health promotion to facilitate the achievement of oral health and
prevention of disease involves:
Oral health education
Legal and fiscal interventions
Economic and organizational interventions
All of these - ✔✔All of these
,According to Aljafari et al (2015) perceived challenges to promoting oral health exist at various levels of a
social-ecological model (figure 2). Which of the following is a perceived challenge at the primary care
level?
Lack of tailored advice approach
Inadequate multi-agency involvement
Poor guideline prevention
Multiple decayed teeth
Poor parenting skills - ✔✔Lack of tailored advice approach
According to Ajafari et al (2015), funding of preventive care in primary practice was noted as a major
issue. Specifically, informants indicated that the NHS England system doesn't provide enough support for
preventive care for those [high risk] children, and favors a treatment rather than prevention approach. -
✔✔True
Which of these best represents the hierarchy of evidence from the top of the pyramid downward, as it
relates to (increasing) risk of bias inherent within the study designs used in epidemiology?
Meta-analysis, prospective cohort, ecological study, clinical trial
Systematic review, randomized controlled trial, prospective cohort, case-control, cross-sectional
Ecological, cross sectional, narrative review, medical opinion
Cross-sectional, case series, case-control, randomized controlled trial
Randomized controlled trial, case report, case control, ecological study - ✔✔Systematic review,
randomized controlled trial, prospective cohort, case-control, cross-sectional
Identify the study design from this epi abstract.
, Background: Evidence for a role of individual foods and nutrients in the causation of ovarian cancer is
inconclusive. To date, few studies have considered dietary patterns in relation to ovarian cancer risk.
Objective: We conducted a population-based ----???---- study in Australia to identify and analyze dietary
patterns in relation to ovarian cancer risk. Design: Principal components analysis of 40 food groups was
performed to identify eating patterns in 683 women with epithelial ovarian cancer and in 777 control
women aged 18-79 y. Detailed information on risk factors was obtained through face-to-face interviews,
whereas dietary information was obtained by administering a semi-quantitative food-frequency
questionnaire for subjects to complete themselves. Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for ovarian
cancer risk were estimated with logistic regression modeli - ✔✔Case-control Study
Which of the following study designs is considered analytic and experimental?
Randomized controlled trial
Case report or case study
Prospective cohort study
Cross sectional study - ✔✔randomized controlled trial
Calculation: In a fictional cross sectional study, researchers looked at the relationship between the
exposure of being part of Game of Thrones (GOT) series viewership and the outcome of wight disorder
(Note: wight = a spirit, ghost, or other supernatural being). Participants were classified as either GOT
viewers or not. Participants were classified at the study end as having wight disorder or not.
(a) GOT viewer & have wight disorder: n = 15 participants
(b) GOT viewer & don't have wight disorder: n = 85 participants
(c) GOT Non-viewer & have wight disorder: n = 30 participants
(d) GOT Non-viewer & don't have wight disorder: n = 20 participants
Compute the odds ratio from the numbers above, using the 2 x 2 format presented in notes/slides. -
✔✔OR = 0.1176
