Description

Purpose: The short-form oral health impact profile (OHIP-14) is an effective tool for measuring oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). It is reported that the OHIP-14 is associated with oral condition and function, but there are few reports on the relationship between OHRQoL and psychophysiological background. In this study, we investigated the relationships between the OHIP-14 and oral condition, and social and psychophysiological backgrounds.<br>Methods: Community-dwelling older adults (N=177; mean age: 74.6±4.2 years) were recruited in this study. An intraoral examination was carried out to assess their oral condition. The subjects were interviewed based on a questionnaire about their gender, age, general health, oral health, social background, the Philadelphia Geriatric Center (PGC) morale scale for subjective well-being, the Neuroticism Extraversion Openness Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI) as a personality test and the OHIP-14. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to estimate the associations between the OHIP-14 scores and the parameters of the oral condition, social and psychophysiological backgrounds.<br>Results: In multivariate logistic regression analysis, self-rated oral health, tongue pain, number of remaining teeth, and PGC morale scale were significantly associated with lower OHIP-14 scores.<br>Conclusions: These results suggest that OHRQoL may be associated with oral condition and social and psychophysiological backgrounds in community-dwelling older adults.
