Актуальность. Статья посвящена изучению распространенности кариеса и факторов риска у детей 6–8 лет в высокогорном Синьцзяне (Китай). Особое внимание уделяется анализу связи гигиенических привычек, пищевого поведения и социально-экономических условий со стоматологическим здоровьем. Цель: оценка распространенности кариеса, изучение влияющих факторов и выявление ключевых рисков. Материалы и методы: В период с октября 2024 по январь 2025 года проведено поперечное исследование 113 детей. Применялись анкеты (демография, гигиена, питание) и клинический осмотр с использованием индексов КПУ/кп и OHI-S. Результаты: распространенность кариеса составила 89,4%. Гигиена неудовлетворительная: 70,8% детей чистили зубы реже двух раз в день, 32,7% – менее одной минуты. Многофакторный анализ выявил ключевые факторы риска: ежедневное потребление сладостей, чистка зубов реже двух раз в день и неиспользование зубной нити. Обнаружена сильная корреляция между OHI-S и КПУ/кп. Выводы: исследование демонстрирует высокую распространенность кариеса, требующую незамедлительных действий. Необходима комплексная стратегия профилактики, включающая целевые вмешательства, усиление стоматологического просвещения в школах и формирование здоровых привычек у детей и семей.

Background. This article examines the prevalence of dental caries and risk factors in children aged 6–8 in highland Xinjiang, China. Particular attention is paid to analyzing the relationship between hygiene habits, dietary behavior, and socioeconomic conditions with dental health. Objective. To assess the prevalence of dental caries, study the influencing factors, and identify key risks. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study of 113 children was conducted from October 2024 to January 2025. Questionnaires (demographics, hygiene, and nutrition) and a clinical examination using the DMFT/dmft and OHI-S indices were used. Results. The prevalence of dental caries was 89.4%. Hygiene was poor: 70.8% of children brushed their teeth less than twice a day, and 32.7% brushed for less than one minute. Multivariate analysis identified key risk factors: daily consumption of sweets, brushing teeth less than twice a day, and not flossing. A strong correlation was found between the OHI-S and DMFT/dmft. Conclusions. The study demonstrates a high prevalence of dental caries, requiring immediate action. A comprehensive prevention strategy is needed, including targeted interventions, enhanced dental education in schools, and the development of healthy habits in children and families.
