The research examined associations between sociodemographic\/lifestyle factors and oral health. Statistical techniques included Pearson\u2019s Chi-square test, multivariate and ordinal logistic regression analyses. Weighting was applied to assure the representativeness of the population and enhance the validity of the survey results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study identifies gender, age, education, financial status, smoking, and self-perceived oral health as key factors influencing oral health outcomes. Notably, regular dental visits significantly reduced the risk of poor oral health and caries. Females, non-smokers, university graduates, high-income individuals, and those with good self-perceived health had fewer missing teeth and better self-perceived oral health. Teeth extractions due to decay, especially when not replaced, significantly increased the perception of poor oral health, while regular dental visits improved it.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study highlights the need for personalized oral health interventions considering the different sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, along with promotion of healthy lifestyle, more frequent dental office visits and equitable dental care access. The findings offer the potential to inform regional oral health policies and prevention strategies, improving oral health and overall wellbeing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2023.1276758","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,20]],"date-time":"2023-10-20T07:00:53Z","timestamp":1697785253000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Assessing the impact of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors on oral health: a cross-sectional study in the Hungarian population"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Amr Sayed","family":"Ghanem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marianna","family":"M\u00f3r\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Attila Csaba","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"608","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-021-01970-w","article-title":"Influence of socioeconomic status on oral disease burden: a population-based study","volume":"21","author":"de Lucena","year":"2021","journal-title":"BMC Oral Health"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"756","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare11050756","article-title":"The Association of Socioeconomic and Lifestyle Factors with the Oral Health status in school-age children from Pakistan: a cross-sectional study","volume":"11","author":"Moin","year":"2023","journal-title":"Healthcare (Basel)"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1186\/s12903-023-02764-y","article-title":"Association between oral health behavior and chronic diseases among middle-aged and older adults in Beijing, China","volume":"23","author":"Guo","year":"2023","journal-title":"BMC Oral Health"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"16452","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-021-95865-z","article-title":"Oral health and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory mortality in older people in the UK and USA","volume":"11","author":"Kotronia","year":"2021","journal-title":"Sci Rep"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"963956","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2022.963956","article-title":"Periodontal disease in pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes: Progress in related mechanisms and management strategies","volume":"9","author":"Nannan","year":"2022","journal-title":"Front Med"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"709831","DOI":"10.3389\/fdmed.2021.709831","article-title":"Diabetes and Oral Health: summary of current scientific evidence for why transdisciplinary collaboration is needed","volume":"2","author":"Borgnakke","year":"2021","journal-title":"Front Dent Med"},{"key":"ref7","article-title":"Gum disease and heart disease: the common thread","year":"2018"},{"key":"ref8","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref9","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref10","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref11","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"104157","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jdent.2022.104157","article-title":"Comparing oral health behaviours of men and women in the United States","volume":"122","author":"Su","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Dent"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"697","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-051X.2003.00357.x","article-title":"Association between level of education and oral health status in 35-, 50-, 65- and 75-year-olds","volume":"30","author":"Paulander","year":"2003","journal-title":"J Clin Periodontol"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8081","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph19138081","article-title":"Occupational difference in Oral Health status and behaviors in Japanese workers: a literature review","volume":"19","author":"Irie","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"16","DOI":"10.1186\/s42269-020-0268-6","article-title":"An overview of oral health status, socio-economic and behavioral risk factors, and the pattern of tooth loss in a sample of Egyptian rural population","volume":"44","author":"Moussa","year":"2020","journal-title":"Bull Nat Res Centre"},{"key":"ref16","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref17","year":""},{"key":"ref18","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref19","year":"2021"},{"key":"ref20","article-title":"Incidence, mortality and trends as presented to the Global Oral Cancer Forum -
