The prevalence of OF, number of teeth, and educational attainment (EA) and equivalent income (EI) were used as outcome, mediator and explanatory variables, respectively. A Poisson regression model was used to examine the association between SES and OF. Causal mediation analysis was performed to calculate the prevalence ratios (PRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the controlled direct effects (CDEs) of the number of teeth. The proportion eliminated (PE) of the \u2265\u200920 remaining teeth was calculated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall 7984 participants had OF.

The estimated total effect (TE) of low EA or low EI on the prevalence of OF was mediated by the number of teeth (TE PR, 1.30 [95% CI, 1.25\u20131.35]; CDE PR, 1.22 [95% CI, 1.10\u20131.33]; PE, 28.2%) or (TE PR, 1.26 [95% CI, 1.22\u20131.31]; CDE PR, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.14\u20131.32]; PE, 12.9%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>OF showed a clear social gradient based on SES.
