The aim of this study was represented by the identification of the type of relation between the bruxism sleep index and the global quality of life.
The study group was composed of a number of 40 patients, both women and men, who did not report health problems and who were identified with a positive self-report regarding the existence of sleep bruxism. For the identification of the bruxism index, the Bruxoff device, Bioelettronica, Turin, Italy, was used. Quality of life inventory (QOLI) was used to determine quality of life scores (T-score).
The gender distribution of the batch is as follows: 52.5%-male, 47.5%-female. The maximum value of the bruxism index was 10.5, and the minimum was 2.10, with a mean of 6.30 and a standard deviation of 2.22. Quality of life T-score recorded maximum value equal to 62, minimum value equal to 40, mean equal to 51.87. The Pearson correlation coefficient calculated to test the correlation between the bruxism indicator and the QOLI T Score presented a negative value (-0.643), which signifies a negative but very strong relation between the two variables. 77.5% of the participants were included in a mean level of quality of life.
A statistically strong negative relation was found between global quality-of-life (T-scores) and the bruxism indicator in patients with bruxism activity during sleep.
本研究的目的是确定磨牙症睡眠指数与总体生活质量之间的关系类型。
研究组由40名患者组成，男女皆有，这些患者未报告健康问题，且自我报告显示存在睡眠磨牙症呈阳性。为了确定磨牙症指数，使用了意大利都灵Bioelettronica公司生产的Bruxoff设备。生活质量量表（QOLI）用于确定生活质量得分（T分）。
该批次的性别分布如下：男性占52.5%，女性占47.5%。磨牙症指数的最大值为10.5，最小值为2.10，平均值为6.30，标准差为2.22。生活质量T分记录的最大值等于62，最小值等于40，平均值等于51.87。为检验磨牙症指标与QOLI T分之间的相关性而计算的皮尔逊相关系数呈现负值（-0.643），这表明两个变量之间存在负向但非常强的关系。77.5%的参与者生活质量处于平均水平。
在睡眠中有磨牙症活动的患者中，总体生活质量（T分）与磨牙症指标之间存在统计学上显著的负向关系。
