“…Previous studies demonstrated that there is an association between non‐stimulated salivary flow and self‐perception of dry mouth in women . Based on the comparison of salivary rates among women in premenopausal and postmenopausal periods, it was found that postmenopausal women presented lower non‐stimulated salivary flow .…”

“…The continuous use of drugs associated with xerostomia and salivary gland hypofunction has been described by different methodological approaches in the literature; nevertheless, it is known that polypharmacy and the use of specific medications play a crucial role in salivary gland hypofunction and antidepressants are the most harmful to salivation .…”

“…Low non‐stimulated salivary flow and xerostomia are mostly associated with older persons and women . Additionally, the type and amount of medication used, smoking habits, psychological distress, consumption of water and oral hygiene habits have been associated with hyposalivation and xerostomia …”

Objective This study aimed to investigate characteristics associated with xerostomia and hyposalivation in older persons. Background Saliva is one of the most important body fluids and plays an important role in food bolus formation, lubricating the oral mucosa and protecting teeth against demineralisation. Materials and methods This is a cross‐sectional study nested within a cohort and includes a sample of 872 older persons living independently in the community, both in rural and urban areas in Carlos Barbosa, Brazil. Data collection included standardised interviews to identify sociodemographic, behavioural and health‐related variables, as well as oral clinical examination performed by two trained/calibrated dentists. Poisson regressions with robust variance were used to calculate the crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals. Results The mean age was 68.5 ± 6.7 years, and the majority of the sample consisted of women (65.3%). The prevalence of xerostomia, of low stimulated salivary flow rate and low at rest salivary flow rate were 338 (38.8%), 494 (56.6%), 320 (36.7%), respectively. In the final adjusted model, women had a significantly increased prevalence of xerostomia (PR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.12‐1.61), as well as participants taking medication continuously (PR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.16‐1.82) and those with depressive symptoms (PR = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.27‐1.76). Lower at rest (PR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.22‐1.72) and lower stimulated salivary flow were more prevalent in women (PR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.11‐1.44), while lower stimulated salivary flow was more prevalent in older persons taking medication continuously (PR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.07‐1.43). Conclusion Salivary hypofunction and xerostomia were more prevalent in women and in those with continuous medication use; however, depressive symptoms were associated only with xerostomia. Measures are required to promote oral comfort in cases of xerostomia, thereby reducing the unpleasant sensation of dry mouth and hyposalivation consequences in clinical practice.

“…Furthermore, the ageing process is also associated with the development of dysphagia . In addition, it is known that Xerostomia is also associated with chronic and neurological disease and drug side‐effect . Few studies in the literature studied the apparently older persons without complaints or serious diseases base, who are not hospitalised.…”

This study is conducted to provide a basis for effective management of bad breath with a poll in 155-scaling patients visiting the dental hygiene department of a university located in Gyeong-gi province after grasping the relevance among halitosis, xerostomia, and stress from them. Analysis was performed using PASW Statistics 18.0. The results of the halitosis measurements based on the general properties showed a significant difference in the hydrogen sulfide (H2S) level depending on the patient's age; the highest level of 355.61 was observed in patients in their twenties followed by 227.85 in the fifties (p＜0.001). The level was higher in cases with sinusitis or rhinitis (p=0.034). The H2S and (CH3)2S levels showed are levant (r=0.492, p＜0.01) correlation with the components of halitosis. Further, among other factors affecting breath odor, (CH3)2S was shown to increase with increased stress. These results indicate that emotional factors, such as stress, should be considered when diagnosing patients with halitosis, and systematic and standardized diagnostic tools should be developed.
