Only8.52%(pregnant group) and17.30%(non-pregnant group) subjects showed totally healthy in clinical examination, reported symptoms and examination results is not completely consistent by bivariate correlation analysis, no significant positive correlation on self-reported periodontal discomfort (R=-0.019/0.091). Lower annual household income (OR=0.78, p=0.043), advanced oral hygiene aids (OR=0.62,p=0.039) were significant related, overweight (BMI>23.9group, OR=2.46,p=0.035) has significant influences with self-reported periodontal diseases, lower body mass index (BMI≤18.5group, OR=0.40,=0.024) lower mental stress (OR=0.27,p=0.028), relatively higher annual household income (OR=0.31, p=0.008), advanced oral hygiene aids (OR=0.21, p<0.001) reducing the present rate of self-reported symptoms in non-pregnant group.Conclusions:It demonstrated that self-reported periodontal symptom was highly prevalent among childbearing age women, which was related to socio-economic status and oral hygiene behavior.
