Background: This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the proportion of people with TMDs in different studies, considering factors such as geographical region, patient age, and sample size. Methods: The search yielded 6984 articles on the incidence of TMDs. Finally, 74 studies with 172,239 subjects and 35,259 with TMDs were selected for final analysis. Analyses were performed using the R statistical language. Results: The incidence of TMDs in the world population was 34%. The age group 18–60 years is the most exposed to TMDs. From the data presented, we observed that for each continent, the female group was 9% to 56% larger than the male group. The highest female-to-male ratio (F:M) was reported in South America (1.56), whereas the lowest F:M ratio was reported in Europe (1.09), suggesting an almost equal distribution of males and females. Conclusions: This suggests that geographical location may play a role in the results of the studies. The prevalence of TMDs was significantly higher in South America (47%) compared to Asia (33%) and Europe (29%). Larger epidemiological studies of TMDs in African and Australian populations are recommended. In conclusion, both visual and statistical assessments suggest that the results of our meta-analysis are robust and unlikely to be significantly affected by publication bias. This suggests that geographical location may play a role in the prevalence of TMDs.

BackgroundTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) are the most common reason for chronic pain in the orofacial area and significantly impact the lives of those affected. The role of lifestyle factors in TMD, however, remains less explored. This cohort study aims to estimate TMD prevalence by addressing potential selection biases and to evaluate the association between TMD and lifestyle factors with a specific focus on sick leave and health related quality of life.MethodsBy linking data on TMD in the general population in Västerbotten, northern Sweden (n = 180,000) to health survey data (n = 120,000), information on sociodemographic factors and quality of life was available for 52,961 individuals (50.6% women) with a mean age of 53 years. We applied inverse probability weighting to adjust for selection bias and Poisson regression to explore associations with TMD.ResultsTMD prevalence was 9.2% during the study period, being higher in women (12.9%) than men (5.4%). Weighting for varying visiting frequencies did not affect TMD prevalence (average difference 0.4% points). Individuals with TMD, especially women, reported more sick leave and use of pain medication, with a significant association between TMD and increased sick leave (prevalence ratio 1.89, 95% CI: 1.78–2.01) among both women and men. In addition, TMD was associated with a lower health related quality of life (p < 0.001).ConclusionThe association of TMD with sick leave highlights the condition's profound impact on the lives of affected individuals. These findings underscore the influence of TMD on work life and the burden of TMD on the societal level.Significance StatementThe findings provide insight into how TMD affect individuals, by incorporating lifestyle factors, social determinants and the impact of sick leave at a population level. By incorporating these areas into the study of TMD, we can deepen our understanding of how TMD affects individuals' lives. This approach may also create opportunities to develop more comprehensive strategies to address TMD, focusing on broader implications beyond the clinical symptoms.
