Although the association between sociodemographic factors and ECC has been widely discussed, it remains unclear whether the same association exists between inequality and S-ECC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To investigate the impact of low income on the oral health of preschool children and explore any additional risk factors for developing ECC and S-ECC during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study used Taipei Child Development Screening Program data from 2014 to 2019. It included children aged 3 to 5 y who had more than 2 oral exams and completed baseline oral health questionnaires. Low-income children were matched 1:4 with controls by age and gender. Evaluation of ECC and S-ECC used the dmft index during follow-up exams. Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) assessed the impact of household income on ECC and S-ECC risk over time.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 895 participants, 179 were from low-income households. We revealed a significantly higher risk of developing S-ECC (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1.99; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.25\u20133.17) in children from low-income households, with no significantly increased of risk of developing ECC. Children who consumed sugary beverages &gt;4 times per week showed elevated risks of developing both ECC (aOR 1.77; 95% CI 1.07\u20132.94) and S-ECC (aOR 1.89; 95% CI 1.13\u20133.17).

Factors contributing to this risk include lower maternal education, poor maternal oral health, and increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages. Policymakers should develop health measures to reduce the prevalence of ECC and S-ECC in children from low-income households whose mothers have lower educational levels and poor oral health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Knowledge Transfer Statement:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The results of this study highlight the significant S-ECC risk among preschool children from low-income households in Taipei, with other risk factors including higher consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, lower maternal education, and poor maternal oral health.
