The health concerns of 99 Egyptian and 135 American young women indicated that the Egyptian sample was significantly more concerned (p < .001) about most items compared to the American group, and that there was very little association (r = .39) between the mean scores of the two groups. The top ten concerns of the Egyptian women ranked by mean score were Halitosis/Body Odor, Colds, Cancer, Poor Teeth, Population Explosion, Overweight, Birth Control, Water Pollution, Headaches, and Heart Disease. The top ten concerns of the American women ranked by mean score were Birth Control, What I'll be like in ten years, Auto Accidents, Overweight, Cancer, Use of Contraceptives, Death, Nuclear War, Childbirth, and Air Pollution. The differences in their health concerns have implications for community health education planning and promotion.

This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence and associated factors of subjective halitosis in adolescents. In total, 359,263 participants were selected from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey (KYRBWS) from 2009 through 2013. Demographic data including age, sex, obesity and residency; psychosocial factors such as subjective health, stress, and economic levels; and dietary factors such as alcohol consumption; smoking; and fruit, soda, fast food, instant noodle, confection, and vegetable consumption were analyzed for correlations with halitosis using simple and multiple logistic regression analyses with complex sampling. In total, 23.6% of the participants reported the presence of halitosis. The following subjectively assessed factors were related to halitosis: poor health status (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.56), overweight or obese (AOR = 1.37), stress (AOR = 2.56), and lower economic levels (AOR = 1.85). The high intake of fast food (AOR = 1.15), instant noodles (AOR = 1.17), and confections (AOR = 1.17) and the low intake of fruits (AOR = 1.22) and vegetables (AOR = 1.19) were also related to halitosis. The prevalence of subjective halitosis in the studied adolescents was 23.6%. Specific psychosocial factors and dietary intake were related to halitosis.
