The scope was to verify the impact of oral and sociodemographic conditions, the dental treatment needs and dental pain, on the quality of life of the elderly. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 primary health care areas. A backward multivariate linear regression model was used (p<0.05) with oral health related-quality of life as dependent variable. There were 335 elderly people with predominance of women (56.72%) and aged up to 74 years (59.40%). Those who had up to 8 years of education predominated (87.46%), and those who were still working were the minority (13.43%). Multivariate linear regression (p<0.05) showed association with missing teeth (β=0,12; IC 0,00:0,04; p<0,04) and dental prosthesis needs (β=0,14; IC 0,13:0,81; p<0,01), women (β=0,18; IC 0,23:0,85; p<0,01), less aged (β=-0,12; IC -0,05:0,00; p<0,02), not working (β=-0,15; IC -1,09:-0,20; p<0,01), with dental care need (β=0,24; IC 0,25:0,63; p<0,01) and dental pain (β=0,14; IC 0,10:0,64; p<0,01). Missing teeth, sociodemographic conditions, dental treatment needs and dental pain might impact oral health-related quality of life of elders.
本研究旨在验证口腔和社会人口状况、口腔治疗需求以及口腔疼痛对老年人生活质量的影响。这是一项横断面研究，在 15 个初级卫生保健区进行。采用多变量线性回归模型（p<0.05），将口腔健康相关生活质量作为因变量。研究对象为 335 名老年人，其中女性占 56.72%，年龄最大为 74 岁（59.40%）。受教育程度在 8 年以下的老年人居多（87.46%），仍在工作的老年人较少（13.43%）。多变量线性回归（p<0.05）显示，与缺牙（β=0,12；IC 0,00:0,04；p<0,04）和义齿修复需求（β=0,14；IC 0,13:0,81；p<0,01）、女性（β=0,18；IC 0,23:0,85；p<0,01）、年龄较小（β=-0,12；IC -0,05:0,00；p<0,02）、不工作（β=-0,15；IC -1,09:-0,20；p<0,01）、有口腔护理需求（β=0,24；IC 0,25:0,63；p<0,01）和口腔疼痛（β=0,14；IC 0,10:0,64；p<0,01）有关。缺牙、社会人口状况、口腔治疗需求和口腔疼痛可能会影响老年人的口腔健康相关生活质量。
