ElementPlanned (methods)Found (results)
PopulationAdult individuals aged 19-60 years; observational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, cohort; ecological)61 observational studies in adults aged 19-60 y (45 cross-sectional, 14 prospective cohort, 1 case-control, 1 ecological); 25 studies contributed to the meta-analysis and meta-regression
InterventionWorse socioeconomic condition (socioeconomic indicators: schooling, income, SES, HDI, occupation, community indicators such as the Gini coefficient)Worse socioeconomic indicators (most frequent: schooling, income, SES); country-level HDI, schooling, university education, and SES quantified for the meta-analysis
ComparisonBetter socioeconomic conditionBetter socioeconomic indicators (reference)
OutcomesDental caries on permanent teeth (DMFT: decayed, missing, filled teeth)Caries experience DMFT (pooled mean). Overall pooled DMFT 11.49 (95% CI 9.96 to 13.03), 25 studies, I2=99.9%. Very high heterogeneity throughout (I2 96.1% to 99.9%). Meta-regression: only low SES was associated with higher DMFT (adjusted coefficient 10.35, p=0.050; unadjusted p=0.031)
Study designsObservational studies (cross-sectional, case-control, cohort); no trials expected; reviews screened for references; no language or year restrictionObservational studies published 1975-2016; predominantly English (96.7%); conducted in multiple countries; most studies (86.9%) moderate quality on Newcastle-Ottawa (scores 5-9)
TimingNot specifiedMostly cross-sectional (point prevalence); publication years 1975-2016
