title: [Multifactor analysis of predisposing factors of oral candidosis in adults].
abstract: To study the prodisposing factors of oral candidosis in adult, analyst statistic package (quantity theories II) were used for the multifactor regressive analysis on 116 cases with oral candidosis and 76 gender and age matched normal controls. Six possible predisposing factors including gender, smoke, job, denture, drug use, systemic and other mucosal disease accompanied were inquired. The results showed that the most active predisposing factors were systemic or other oral mucosa disease accompanied, which include post-operative states, post-radiotherapy states, Sjogren's syndrome; followed by drug use before onset of oral candidosis, especially topic antibiotics; the four other factors (smoke, job, denture and gender) have some effect but do not play any conclusive role on the occurence of oral candidosis.
