Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS OiTCR0xF. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We examined the effect of age, income, and coverage on dental service utilization during 1996. Methods : We used data from the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. Results : Edentulous and poorer older adults are less likely to have coverage and less likely to report a dental visit than dentate or wealthier older adults. Conclusions : These analyses help to describe the needs of older adults as they cope with diminishing resources as a consequence of retirement, including persons previously accustomed to accessing oral health services with dental insurance. |
