“…Our results are consistent with those of previous studies, namely, that depression was associated with a worsening of overall oral health-related quality of life. For example, one study found that the oral health impact profile was significantly associated with depression, stress, and self-esteem in community-dwelling middle-aged women ( 21 ). Although this was a cross-sectional study, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the correlation with depression ( r = −0.560, p < 0.001) revealed a highly statistically significant outcome.…”

ObjectivesGeriatric oral health-related quality of life is a relatively new but rapidly growing concept as it is directly related to the general wellbeing and self-esteem of older adults. This study assessed the impact of worsening depression symptoms on oral health-related quality of life using representative nationwide data of Korean older adults.MethodsThis study comprised a longitudinal sample of older adults aged ≥60 from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging (2016–2020). After applying the exclusion criteria, 3,286 participants were included in the study. Depression status was determined through the biennial assessment of the short-form Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10); oral health was measured using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI). We employed the lagged general estimating equations to assess the temporal effect of the CESD-10 score change on the GOHAI score.ResultsA decrease in CESD-10 score over a 2-year period was significantly associated with a decrease in GOHAI score in men and women: β = −1.810 and β = −1.278, respectively (p-values < 0.0001). Furthermore, compared to the same or improved CESD-10 score, worsening of the score on 1–2 points detected the β = −1.793 in men and β = −1.356 in women, and worsening on ≥3 points: β = −3.614 in men and β = −2.533 in women.ConclusionsThis study found that depression exacerbation is negatively associated with oral health-related quality of life in later life. Further, a more significant worsening of depression symptoms was correlated with lower scores for oral health-related quality of life in our study population.

“…In previous studies that showed that halitosis lowers self-esteem [7], it was determined that self-esteem could be improved if halitosis is reduced through oral-probiotic intake. In addition, in a study that reported that good oral-health-related quality of life increases selfesteem [31], it was inferred that if halitosis is reduced after the ingestion of oral probiotics, and oral-health-related quality of life is improved, then self-esteem can be increased. However, in this study, there was no statistically significant differences in self-esteem after ingestion of the oral probiotic.…”

Altogether, 81% of Korean college students experience halitosis and concomitant psychosocial problems such as depression and lowered self-esteem, as well as poor oral-health-related quality of life. Although halitosis causes many social and psychological problems among college students, there have been no reports of improvement interventions. This study aimed to identify the effects of ingesting tablets of the oral probiotic Weissella cibaria CMU (Chonnam Medical University, Gwangju, Korea) on halitosis and examine its effects on psychosocial indicators. This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. The participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group. They ingested W. cibaria CMU or the placebo, depending on which group they belonged to, before going to bed daily for eight weeks. The measured indicators were subjective halitosis, subjective oral-health status, depression, self-esteem, and oral-health-related quality of life. Measurements were at baseline and eight weeks later. The participants showed statistically significant differences in subjective halitosis and oral-health-related quality of life. For college students with halitosis, intake of the oral probiotic for eight weeks could be a useful nursing intervention for reducing halitosis and improving oral-health-related quality of life.

“…The proportion of older people is rapidly increasing, due to ageing around the world . An ageing society and concurrent increases in living standards have been accompanied by an increasing desire to maintain good health and high quality of life in older age . In middle age, oral health has a substantial impact on an individual’s overall health, and masticatory ability plays a particularly important role because of its ability to influence nutritional intake .…”
