Structural equation modelling of the complex relationship between toothache and its associated factors among Indonesian children

Abstract The Indonesian family life survey (IFLS) is used for formulating various government policies. Our preliminary study using data from the IFLS showed increase in the prevalence of toothache from 2007 to 2014. Hence, a need to analyse the factors associated with toothache using structural equa...
