BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of halitosis among Chinese subjects and to analyze the associated factors that influence halitosis.
METHODS
This study included subjects complaining of halitosis who came to the clinic between 2014 and 2016. Questionnaires were used to obtain general information from patients. An organoleptic test was conducted, and volatile sulfur compounds measurement was obtained to assess halitosis. In conjunction with these tests, the oral health status of each patient was recorded.
RESULTS
In total, there were 205 samples entered into data analysis, and the patients' age ranged from 18 to 71 years (mean ± SD: 32.44 ± 10.31). Of these patients, 65.9% had an organoleptic score ≥ 2, and 41% of patients had a volatile sulfur compound level ≥ 110 ppb. The findings indicated that the prevalence of halitosis was higher in males than in females (55.6% vs. 44.4%, respectively, P = 0.018). Several factors including the duration of bad breath, rhinitis, tongue coating and periodontal conditions were found to be associated with the organoleptic score. Tongue coating was also associated with the volatile sulfur compound level.
CONCLUSIONS
Among these subjects, 65.9% had halitosis. Oral health status was strongly associated with halitosis, and tongue coating was the most important factor.
背景
本研究旨在调查中国人群口臭的患病率，并分析影响口臭的相关因素。
方法
本研究纳入 2014 年至 2016 年间因口臭就诊的患者。采用问卷获取患者的一般信息，进行口腔异味感官测试，并检测挥发性硫化合物以评估口臭。同时记录每位患者的口腔健康状况。
结果
共纳入 205 例患者进行数据分析，患者年龄 18~71 岁（均值±标准差：32.44±10.31）。其中 65.9%的患者口腔异味感官测试评分≥2，41%的患者挥发性硫化合物水平≥110ppb。结果显示，男性口臭患病率高于女性（55.6%比 44.4%，P=0.018）。多项因素包括口臭持续时间、鼻炎、舌苔和牙周状况与口腔异味感官测试评分相关，舌苔与挥发性硫化合物水平相关。
结论
在这些患者中，65.9%有口臭。口腔健康状况与口臭密切相关，舌苔是最重要的因素。
