“…Khalifa et al, [43] assessed the association between perceived difficulty of chewing common Sudanese food items and OHRQoL among a sample of Sudanese adults ≥16 years old using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). They reported an OR of 2.33 (1.15–3.51) for those with chewing complain to report high OHIP scores.…”

BackgroundIt is evident that social and behavioural factors influence on individuals’ general health and quality of life. Nevertheless, information about the influence of dietary habits on oral health-related quality of life is limited; especially among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The aim of this study was to examine the influence of dietary habits and clinical oral health indicators on oral health-related quality of life in individuals with and without T2D.MethodsA total of 149 T2D cases and 298 controls were recruited for this age and gender matched case-control study. Questionnaire-guided interviews were conducted to collect data about socio-demographic characteristics, consumption of food items per week (milk, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits, sweets and bread) and oral impact on daily performance (OIDP). Plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, tooth mobility, decayed, missing and filled teeth index (DMFT) and root caries were recorded.ResultsDifficulty with eating and sleeping were more frequently reported by T2D cases (23.5% and 16.1%, respectively) than by the controls (10.7% and 5.0%, respectively) (P < 0.01). After adjusting for diabetic status, plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing depth, tooth mobility, root caries, and missing teeth, those with high consumption of milk and sweets, were more likely than those with low consumption to report any oral impact (OIDP > 0). The corresponding ORs were 1.23 (1.01–4.89) and 2.10 (1.08–4.09), respectively. Participants with low consumption of meat and vegetables were more likely than their counterparts with high consumption to report any oral impact. The corresponding ORs were 0.46 (0.25–0.83) and 0.38 (0.17–0.87), respectively. There was a significant interaction between diabetic status and meat consumption as well as between diabetic status and bread consumption.ConclusionsOral impacts were more frequently reported in T2D cases than controls. Independent of diabetic- and oral clinical status, dietary habits discriminated between individuals with and without oral impacts. The influence of meat and bread consumption on OIDP varied significantly according to T2D status.

Although the number of missing teeth in Japanese adults is decreasing, persons aged ≥75 years tend to have at least 10 teeth missing, and approximately 30% have full dentures. 1 Tooth loss impacts mastication, speaking, swallowing, and esthetics. 2,3 Decreased masticatory ability due to tooth loss affects food intake, possibly leading to malnutrition. 4 Loss of multiple teeth is also associated with physical disability and cognitive decline, 5 and it can decrease the quality of life of elderly individuals.The average life span differs considerably from healthy life expectancy. Retention of as many teeth as possible can prevent or slow the decline in swallowing and masticatory function and extend healthy life expectancy. In a cohort study of Japanese people aged >75 years, individuals with few teeth at baseline subsequently had higher medical care costs related to stroke. 6 Therefore, the prevention of tooth loss could reduce medical care costs.The risk factors for tooth loss have been investigated extensively. 7-9 Lifestyle and social factors, such as household income, education level, and dental visits, are reportedly related to tooth loss among persons aged ≥65 years. 8 Molars and abutment teeth of prostheses are at greater risk of being lost by community-dwelling elderly people. 9 The risk factors for tooth loss in younger people should be determined to enable the retention of as many teeth as possible. The AbstractAim: The assessment of the risk of tooth loss in patients visiting a dental clinic is important for managing their oral health. In the present study, we examined the risk factors for tooth loss among dental patients. Methods: Data from the 8020 Promotion Foundation Study on the Health PromotionEffects of Dental Care were used in the present study. The study involved 2743 patients who visited a dental clinic in Japan and completed a questionnaire and oral health examination at baseline and at the 2-year follow up. Tooth-and person-level risk factors for tooth loss during 2 years were subjected to a multilevel multivariate logistic regression analysis.

“…Several studies on masticatory ability explicitly differentiate between soft and hard foods [39][40][41][42]. In the present study, differences in MDS for soft and hard foods were relatively small and varied from approximately 0.3 up to 1.2 ( Table 3).…”
