A self-administered questionnaire that asked about the number of teeth was used in the analysis. The percentage agreement and kappa value were calculated for the agreement between SRNT and observed numbers of teeth. To identify factors that affect the reliability of SRNT, a logistic regression analysis was performed using correctness of SRNT as the dependent variable. Results Among the 3950 participants who responded as to whether they had ≥ 20 teeth, the degree of agreement was 92.9% (kappa value 0.856, p |
