Oral malodor was measured using a portable sulphide monitor in 2,672 individuals aged 18 to 64 years. In addition, dental (DMFT) and periodontal conditions (CPITN and attachment loss), dental plaque, and tongue coating status were assessed. Before clinical examination, subjects were interviewed about their oral health habits, smoking habits, and medical history. Data on volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) were analyzed by gender, age group, and time of measurement. There were no significant differences observed in the VSC between males and females in any age group. In each age group, the measured values of oral malodor were highest in the late morning group (58.6 ppb in average), followed by the late afternoon group (52.1 ppb), while lowest values were shown in the early afternoon group (39.4 ppb). Significant correlation was observed only between the VSC value and periodontal conditions and tongue coating status. The results also suggest that oral malodor might be caused mainly by tongue coating in the younger generation and by periodontal diseases together with tongue coating in older cohorts in the general population. Age was not a risk factor for increasing VSC.
使用便携式硫化物监测仪对2672名年龄在18至64岁的个体进行了口腔异味测量。此外，还评估了牙齿状况（DMFT）和牙周状况（CPITN和附着丧失）、牙菌斑以及舌苔状况。在临床检查前，对受试者进行了关于其口腔健康习惯、吸烟习惯和病史的询问。对挥发性硫化物（VSC）数据按性别、年龄组和测量时间进行了分析。在任何年龄组中，男性和女性的VSC均未观察到显著差异。在每个年龄组中，口腔异味测量值在上午晚些时候组最高（平均58.6 ppb），其次是下午晚些时候组（52.1 ppb），而在下午早些时候组最低（39.4 ppb）。仅在VSC值与牙周状况和舌苔状况之间观察到显著相关性。结果还表明，在普通人群中，年轻一代的口腔异味可能主要由舌苔引起，而老年人群的口腔异味可能由牙周疾病和舌苔共同引起。年龄不是增加VSC的风险因素。
