The study aimed to evaluate the association between dietary intake and oral health status and how oral health-related quality of life (OHQoL) influences the institutionalized elderly population of Bangalore.
A cross-sectional study was conducted to appraise the oral health and dietary intake of institutionalized elderly. Patients completed a validated questionnaire and a clinical evaluation. CPI index, loss of attachment (LoA), DMFT, prosthetic status, and prosthetic necessity were utilized to contrast OHQoL using the Chi-square test. The diet and OHQoL were compared using ANOVA.
This study surveyed 400 institutionalized elderly populations. The average age of the sample was 70.02 ± 8.149 years. LoA and DMFT were significantly associated with GOHAI's functional domain ( = 0.000). CPI ( = 0.049) and DMFT index ( = 0.003) were associated with GOHAI pain/discomfort and psycho-social domains. The psycho-social domain was associated with an upper arch prosthesis status ( = 0.010). Subjects with good OHQoL consumed 1961.19 ± 479.33 calories, while those with poor OHQoL consumed 1814 ± 432.41 calories ( = 0.002).
According to the study findings, periodontal disease, decay, and missing teeth impaired OHQoL. The OHQoL was significantly declined with dietary intake.
本研究旨在评估饮食摄入与口腔健康状况之间的关联，以及口腔健康相关生活质量（OHQoL）如何影响班加罗尔的机构养老老年人群。
开展一项横断面研究，以评估机构养老老年人的口腔健康和饮食摄入情况。患者完成一份经过验证的问卷和临床评估。使用CPI指数、附着丧失（LoA）、DMFT、修复状况和修复需求，通过卡方检验对比OHQoL。使用方差分析比较饮食与OHQoL。
本研究调查了400名机构养老老年人群。样本的平均年龄为70.02±8.149岁。LoA和DMFT与GOHAI功能领域显著相关（P = 0.000）。CPI（P = 0.049）和DMFT指数（P = 0.003）与GOHAI疼痛/不适及心理社会领域相关。心理社会领域与上颌义齿修复状况相关（P = 0.010）。OHQoL良好的受试者摄入1961.19±479.33卡路里，而OHQoL较差的受试者摄入1814±432.41卡路里（P = 0.002）。
根据研究结果，牙周病、龋齿和牙齿缺失会损害OHQoL。OHQoL随饮食摄入显著下降。
