To determine the association of hyposalivation and the perception of dry mouth with oral health-related quality of life for independently living elderly.
The study sample consisted of 287 participants (mean age, 66.1 years) at a Senior Citizen educational system. Stimulated salivary flow rates during chewing were measured. The OHIP-14 to measure the impact of oral conditions on health-related quality of life was used, and summary OHIP-14 scores combining the response codes for the 14 items were analyzed.
A logistic regression analysis showed that a higher OHIP-14 score indicating a poorer quality of life was related to fewer residual teeth, perception of dry mouth on eating (OR: 4.01, P = .012) and hyposalivation (OR: 2.71, P = .006).
It is suggested that both dry mouth and hyposalivation are important problems influencing the quality of life in independently living, relatively healthy elderly Japanese.
确定唾液分泌减少和口干感觉与独立生活老年人的口腔健康相关生活质量之间的关联。
研究样本包括一个老年教育系统中的287名参与者（平均年龄66.1岁）。测量了咀嚼过程中刺激唾液流速。使用口腔健康影响程度量表（OHIP-14）来测量口腔状况对健康相关生活质量的影响，并分析了将14个项目的回答代码合并后的OHIP-14总分。
逻辑回归分析表明，较高的OHIP-14得分表明生活质量较差，这与剩余牙齿较少、进食时口干感觉（比值比：4.01，P = 0.012）和唾液分泌减少（比值比：2.71，P = 0.006）有关。
提示口干和唾液分泌减少都是影响相对健康的独立生活日本老年人生活质量的重要问题。
