OBJECTIVES
This cross-sectional observational study was conducted to determine the prevalence of self-perceived halitosis among adults in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and to assess the relation of halitosis with some socio-demographic factors, oral habits and health practices.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A questionnaire was distributed to randomly selected subjects including senior high school students, college students and employees working in governmental offices. High schools and governmental offices were selected using systematic random sampling from each of the main five regions of Riyadh. The college students were selected from the major universities in Riyadh. One hundred questionnaires were randomly distributed in each of the 15 locations for males and 15 for females (5 schools, 5 universities and 5 governmental offices for each gender) giving a total of 3000 questionnaires.
RESULTS
The prevalence of self-perceived halitosis was 22.8% among the participants. The majority of the subjects with self-perceived halitosis experienced bad breath on waking up (83.5%). Nearly half of the sample with self-perceived halitosis was told by others that they had bad breath, 25.8% visited a doctor regarding that, 23.8% received treatment for their bad breath and 54.1% made trials to control their problem by using some aids. Self-perceived halitosis was found to be more prevalent among males compared to females (P < 0.000), whereas, no statistically significant differences were found among the different age groups (P = 0.317). A statistically significant relationship was found between self-perceived halitosis and times of mouth cleaning, use of tooth brush, use of tooth paste, tongue cleaning (P < 0.000), and the use of dental floss (P = 0.004). A statistically significant relationship was also found between self-perceived halitosis and shisha (P < 0.000) and cigarette smoking (P = 0.045).
CONCLUSION
The prevalence of self-perceived halitosis among the population in Riyadh is within the range reported in other countries. Self-perceived halitosis is related to gender, inadequate oral hygiene practices and cigarettes and shisha smoking however, it is not related to age.
目的
开展这项横断面观察性研究，以确定沙特阿拉伯利雅得成年人中自我感觉有口臭的患病率，并评估口臭与一些社会人口学因素、口腔习惯和健康行为之间的关系。
材料与方法
向随机选取的受试者发放问卷，这些受试者包括高中生、大学生以及在政府办公室工作的职员。利雅得五个主要区域中的每个区域均采用系统随机抽样的方法选取高中和政府办公室。大学生则从利雅得的主要大学中选取。在15个地点，每个地点随机向男性发放100份问卷，向女性发放100份问卷（每个性别各5所学校、5所大学和5个政府办公室），共发放3000份问卷。
结果
参与者中自我感觉有口臭的患病率为22.8%。大多数自我感觉有口臭的受试者在醒来时会出现口臭（83.5%）。近一半自我感觉有口臭的样本被他人告知有口臭，25.8%的人因此去看了医生，23.8%的人接受了口臭治疗，54.1%的人尝试使用一些辅助工具来控制这个问题。结果发现，与女性相比，自我感觉有口臭在男性中更为普遍（P < 0.000），然而，不同年龄组之间未发现统计学上的显著差异（P = 0.317）。自我感觉有口臭与口腔清洁次数、牙刷使用、牙膏使用、舌部清洁（P < 0.000）以及牙线使用（P = 0.004）之间存在统计学上的显著关系。自我感觉有口臭与水烟吸食（P < 0.000）和吸烟（P = 0.045）之间也存在统计学上的显著关系。
结论
利雅得人群中自我感觉有口臭的患病率在其他国家报告的范围内。自我感觉有口臭与性别、口腔卫生习惯不良以及吸烟和水烟吸食有关，然而，与年龄无关。
