Outline of Final Research Achievements

About two-thousand participates of large-scale birth cohort survey were analyzed about the health-related factors, such as environmental, hereditary, social and lifestyle factors. In the same time, we analyzed the behavior and the attitude of parents for oral health care and promotion. Furthermore, we developed the new method to estimate the risk of dental caries of deciduous tooth, which was suitable for mass examination. From these results, we established the sustainable research base and fundamental data of long-term cohort survey continuing more than ten years.
