Table 2 shows the results of fitting multiple or-dinal logistic regression to caries severity. Other factors, which are not presented in Table 2, were not significant (P>0.05). This model shows the effect of each significant factor adjusted for others.
It was shown that the odds of being in a higher caries severity category in pupils that had eyesight problems was 0.58 (95% CI: 0.37-0.90) times lower than others (P=0.01). In addition, the odds of being in a higher caries severity category in overweight pupils was 0.46 (95% CI: 0.31-0.71) times lower than those with normal weight (P
