To analyze whether self-perceived oral health and orofacial appearance change with increasing age.
This longitudinal study is based on data from a questionnaire used in the Swedish National Study of Aging and Care. The sample comprises 160 participants 60 years of age at baseline 2001-2003. The same participants were re-examined at 66-, 72-, and 78 years of age. To analyze whether perceptions of oral health and orofacial appearance changed with increasing age, Cochran's Q test was conducted. Statistical significance was considered at p ≤ 0.05, and the calculated value Q must be equal to or greater than the critical chi-square value (Q ≥ 7.82). Significance values have been adjusted for the Bonferroni correction for multiple tests.
Self-perceived mouth dryness, both day (Q = 7.94) and night (Q = 23.41), increased over the 18-year follow-up. When divided by gender, significant differences were only seen for mouth dryness at nighttime. A decrease in sensitive teeth was perceived with increasing age, and an increase in self-perceived satisfaction with dental appearance, and a decrease in self-perceived problems with dental gaps between the ages of 60 and 78. These changes were, however, not statistically significant. Men experienced a higher proportion of discomfort with discolored teeth at age 78 than at 60 (Q = 9.09).
Self-perceived oral health and orofacial appearance were relatively stable, with few changes over an 18-year follow-up.
分析自我认知的口腔健康和口面部外观是否会随着年龄增长而改变。
这项纵向研究基于瑞典全国老龄化与护理研究中使用的问卷数据。样本包括2001 - 2003年基线时60岁的160名参与者。相同的参与者在66岁、72岁和78岁时再次接受检查。为了分析口腔健康和口面部外观的认知是否随年龄增长而改变，进行了 Cochr an Q检验。当p≤0.05时认为具有统计学意义，计算值Q必须等于或大于临界卡方值（Q≥7.82）。显著性值已针对多重检验的Bonferroni校正进行了调整。
在18年的随访中，自我感觉白天（Q = 7.94）和夜间（Q = 23.41）的口干情况均有所增加。按性别划分时，仅在夜间口干方面存在显著差异。随着年龄增长，感觉牙齿敏感的情况有所减少，对牙齿外观的自我满意度有所增加，并且在60岁至78岁之间，对牙齿间隙的自我认知问题有所减少。然而，这些变化没有统计学意义。78岁时男性对牙齿变色的不适感比例高于60岁时（Q = 9.09）。
自我认知的口腔健康和口面部外观相对稳定，在18年的随访中变化很少。
