Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: fisherfolk play a major role in emerging economies such as Ghana. While many fishing communities are noted to be underdeveloped, fisherfolk are considered to neglect their oral hygiene, while being prone to certain conditions due to peculiar risks. The purpose of this study was to determine the periodontal health status of adults in a selected fishing community in Ghana.
UNASSIGNED: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to assess the periodontal status of adults in Jamestown, a peri-urban area in Ghana. Data acquisition was by means of a structured questionnaire and periodontal examination. Information obtained consisted of demographic data (age, sex, education and occupation category) oral hygiene practices (type of teeth cleaning materials, methods of tooth cleansing, frequency of dental visits and reasons for the visit) and periodontal clinical parameters (plaque index, and community periodontal index of treatment needs).
UNASSIGNED: a total of 276 participants were included in the study, with ages ranging from 21 to 70 years. The participants were made up of 138 fisherfolk and 138 non-fisherfolk. Males had worse scores for periodontal disease compared to females. Plaque score did not vary among age groups, but changed significantly between educational level and occupational categories. CPITN varied significantly between educational levels, age categories and occupational categories.
UNASSIGNED: the study found inhabitants of the fishing community of Jamestown to have a generally unsatisfactory periodontal status, but worse for the fisherfolk in the community.

摘要：
联合国评估：渔民在加纳等新兴经济体中发挥着重要作用。虽然许多捕鱼社区被认为不发达，渔民被认为忽视了他们的口腔卫生，同时由于特殊的风险而容易出现某些情况。这项研究的目的是确定加纳选定的捕鱼社区中成年人的牙周健康状况。
UNASSIGNED：进行了一项描述性横断面研究，以评估詹姆斯敦成年人的牙周状况，加纳的一个城市周边地区。数据采集是通过结构化问卷和牙周检查进行的。获得的信息包括人口统计数据(年龄，性别,教育和职业类别)口腔卫生实践(牙齿清洁材料的类型，牙齿清洁的方法,牙科就诊频率和就诊原因)和牙周临床参数(菌斑指数，和社区牙周指数的治疗需求)。
UNASSIGNED：总共276名参与者被纳入研究，年龄从21岁到70岁不等。参与者由138名渔民和138名非渔民组成。与女性相比，男性的牙周病得分更差。斑块评分在各年龄组之间没有差异，但在教育水平和职业类别之间发生了显著变化。CPITN在教育水平之间差异很大，年龄类别和职业类别。
UNASSIGNED：该研究发现，詹姆斯敦捕鱼社区的居民牙周状况普遍不理想，但对社区的渔民来说更糟。
