The relationship between income and oral health among people with intellectual disabilities: a global perspective

Conclusion:Oral health problems are not exclusive to low‐income study participants. Unexpectedly high odds of missing teeth, injury, and gingivitis in high‐income countries may be attributed to the high proportion of participants from the United States, which is considered a high‐income country but has large income disparities. Health‐determining circumstances in low‐income countries provide some protection from the hypothesized gradient of oral health for all measured outcomes.
