Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify the relationship between sociodemographic factors and self-perceived oral health (SPOH) among the elderly.

In the present study, age, residence type, use of dentures and cognitive function were related to quality of life in OHIP‐14, and residence type and use of dentures were correlated to the GOHAI score.…”

Therefore, quality of life has been frequently associated to Oral Health Clinical Conditions (OHCC) [10][11][12][13][14][15] . However, the World Health Organization (WHO) has officially recognized the importance of an agenda when it presented, as global goal, the decrease of the impact of health and craniofacial diseases on human health and the psychosocial development among populations 16 .…”
