“…In a study administering the OHIP-14 to adults, health-related QoL was severely impacted by poor oral health, age, pain and chronic disease (Zucoloto et al, 2016). As shown by the collected sociodemographic data, the choice of type of denture (conventional vs. implant-supported) was influenced by the level of schooling (a proxy for socioeconomic status), matching findings in the literature (Fontanive et al, 2013). Elevated cost, fear and lengthy treatment time may also be determining factors (Pennington & Parker, 2012).…”

“…Representativeness was ensured by adjusting the sample using the svyset-weight function in Stata 9.0, by assigning different eights to each group studied. 23 Initially, bivariate analysis (crude Poisson regression) was performed between the SOC and the oral health variables (dental attendance within the previous year, reason for dental attendance, dental caries, number of teeth present and need for dental prostheses). Those that showed statistically significant associations with the SOC (number of teeth present and need for dental prostheses) were considered dependent variables of this study, and the others were treated as potential confounders.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Sense of Coherence (SOC) and oral health clinical variables (number of teeth present and absence of need for dental prostheses). The sample consisted of 720 adults and elderly Brazilians. The data were collected at home using the SOC-13 scale -a form of clinical examination for the evaluation of oral conditions -and a questionnaire evaluating socioeconomic aspects and the use of dental services. Statistical analysis, both univariate and multivariate, was performed by Poisson regression with robust variance adjustment. The average age of the participants was 60.2 years, and they were predominantly female (57.8%). Among the participants who had a strong SOC, the absence of the need for dental prostheses was 34% higher than among those with a weak SOC, demonstrating a significant difference between the groups (PR = 1.34, 95%CI = 1.06-1.70; p = 0.015). Individuals who had a strong SOC had a 5% higher prevalence of 14 or more existing teeth than those with a weak SOC, which was statistically significant after adjustment for co-factors (PR = 1.05, 95%CI = 1.01-1.11, p = 0.033). A strong personal Sense of Coherence has a beneficial influence on the oral health of adults and older people in Brazil.

“…In addition, low socioeconomic status and low education of this population put them in disadvantage in relation to oral health problems due to lack of access to dental care, and lack of information about the prevention of oral diseases. And that’s why they do not give much importance to oral health, which also explains the low impact of oral health on quality of life [21,22]. …”

BackgroundThe epidemic of HIV/AIDS enters into its fourth decade and is still considered an important public health problem in developed and developing countries. The purpose is verify the oral health and other factors that influence the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS attending a public service reference in Brazil.MethodsThe participants answered the questionnaire on socio-demographic conditions, issues related to HIV and daily habits. The quality of life was analyzed by the HIV/AIDS Targeted Quality of Life (HAT-QoL) instrument with 42 items divided into nine domains: General Activity, Sexual Activity, Confidentiality concerns, Health Concerns, Financial Concern, HIV Awareness, Satisfaction with Life Issues related to medication and Trust in the physician. The oral health data were collected by means of the DMFT index, use and need of dentures and the Community Periodontal Index, according to the criteria proposed by the World Health Organization, by a calibrated researcher. Bivariate and multiple linear regressions were performed.ResultsOf the participants, 53.1% were women and had a mean age of 42 years, 53.1% had eight years or less of schooling and 20.3% were not employed. In analyzing the quality of life domain of the HAT-QoL, with a lower average there was: Financial concern (39.4), followed by Confidentiality concern (43.2), Sexual activities (55.2) and Health concerns (62. 88). There was an association between the variables: do not have link to employment (p <0.001), is brown or black (p = 0.045), alcohol consumption (p = 0.041), did not make use of antiretroviral therapy (p = 0.006), high levels of viral load (p = 0.035) and need for dentures (p = 0.025), with the worse quality of life scores.ConclusionSocioeconomic and inadequate health conditions had a negative impact on the quality of life of people with HIV/AIDS.
