A good quality of life in elderly population is related to different aspects of health including oral health. The aim of this study was to determine oral health-related quality of life (OHR-QoL) in elderly patients referred for dental or oro-maxillo-facial complaints to Mashhad dental school (MDS) and compare them with a group of normal population.
A total of 99 patients from MDS (as case group) and 114 elderly people as control were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Control group were chosen among the pilgrims who had come to the holy shrine of Imam Reza (Haram). Persian version of OIDP (Oral Impact of Daily Performance) index was used. Data were entered to SPSS 11.5 and Statistical analysis was performed.
A total of 213 (case =99, control=114) cases were enrolled. Mean Performance score (MPS) was 6.27±10.47 (7.96±11.95 in case group, and 4.80±8.77 in control group) and the difference was significant (p=0.015). Age was conversely correlated with MPS (r=0.0125, p=0.24) although this correlation was not significant. We found, in oro-maxillofacial functions, ill-fit dentures, oral ulcers, pain and tooth mobility were major determinants of OHR-QoL. Number of impaired functions was directly and significantly correlated with MPS (r=0.92, p<0.001).
Some daily functions like speaking, emotional status, cleaning teeth, physical activity were impaired in case group. Oral and maxillofacial diseases were more prevalent in case group and can be an important impairing issue in OHR-QoL.
老年人群的良好生活质量与包括口腔健康在内的不同健康方面相关。本研究的目的是确定因牙齿或口腔颌面问题转诊至马什哈德牙科学院（MDS）的老年患者的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHR-QoL），并将其与一组正常人群进行比较。
本横断面研究共纳入99例来自MDS的患者（作为病例组）和114名老年人作为对照组。对照组选自前来伊玛目礼萨圣地（哈拉姆）朝圣的人群。使用波斯语版的OIDP（日常表现的口腔影响）指数。数据录入SPSS 11.5并进行统计分析。
共纳入213例（病例组=99例，对照组=114例）。平均表现得分（MPS）为6.27±10.47（病例组为7.96±11.95，对照组为4.80±8.77），差异有统计学意义（p = 0.015）。年龄与MPS呈负相关（r = 0.0125，p = 0.24），尽管这种相关性不显著。我们发现，在口腔颌面功能方面，假牙不合适、口腔溃疡、疼痛和牙齿松动是OHR-QoL的主要决定因素。功能受损的数量与MPS呈直接且显著的正相关（r = 0.92，p < 0.001）。
病例组在说话、情绪状态、刷牙、身体活动等一些日常功能方面存在受损情况。病例组口腔和颌面部疾病更为普遍，并且可能是OHR-QoL的一个重要损害因素。
