【 摘 要 】

sd, 8.17) and prevalence (72.2%) of those without dry, with statistically significant at the p-value < 0.01. Total OHIP-14K score (R=0.28, p<0.01) and six OHIP-14K subscale scores except social disability had a relationship with the dry mouth by spearman correlation. In multivariate Poisson regression analyses, our data showed dry mouth was found to be associated with prevalence of total (adjusted prevalence ratio (PR) of 1.16), functional limitation (adjusted PR of 1.49), physical pain (adjusted PR of 1.32), psychological discomfort (adjusted PR of 1.36), physical disability (adjusted PR of 1.49) and psychological disability (adjusted PR of 1.62) subscales OHIP-14K after controlling for confounders. The links was highlighted in elders aged 71-93 years, females, those with low economic-level, non-smokers, non-drinkers, those without diabetes, non-hypertensives, non-obese adults, those with non-medication, and denture-wearers.Conclusions: Our data showed that dry mouth was independently associated with OHIP-14K among the adults. Thus, dry mouth is substantial health problem that affects oral health related quality of life.
