“…The mean score was considerably higher than the oral health impact reported in other studies, for example in Chinese (mean score = 48.9), Malay population (mean score = 46.2). 13,20 In contrast however, the Thai mean score was lower than that reported in Germany where the mean score=53. 21 On examining variation in GOHAI by socio-demographic characteristics gender, education and socio-economic status, reported statistical differences between income and GOHAI score in this study.…”

Oral health contributes physically and psychologically to quality of life. Objective: To investigate the relationship of oral health status with oral health related and general Quality of Life (QOL) in elderly. Methods: Subjects were 612 community dwelling Thai aged 60 years or older. A questionnaire was evaluate socio-demographics, general oral health assessment index (GOHAI) and world health organization quality of life (WHOQOL). Oral examinations assessed teeth present, decayed teeth, gingival bleeding, pocket depth, functional tooth units (FTUs) and salivary flow rate. Results: For dentate subjects (n=428), logistic regression showed that teeth present, decayed teeth, gingival bleeding, pocket depth, FTUs and saliva flow rate were associated with GOHAI (p<0.05). Regarding WHOQOL, teeth present, gingival bleeding and FTUs were associated with physical domain (p<0.05). Teeth present, decayed teeth, gingival bleeding and FTUs were related with psychological domain (p<0.05). Teeth present and FTUs were associated with environmental and social domain (p<0.05). For edentulous subjects (n=184), denture wearing was associated with GOHAI and all domains of WHOQOL (p<0.05). Conclusion: The number of teeth present, denture wearing and FTUs strongly affected GOHAI and general QOL. Dental caries, periodontal status and salivary flow rate also affected GOHAI and some domains of general QOL of elderly.

The aim of this study was to estimate the reliability, validity and factorial invariance of the Portuguese version of the Geriatric/ General Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) as applied to Brazilian women. A total 701 women over 18 years of age participated in this study. Telephone interviews were conducted. We evaluated the construct-related validity through factorial, convergent and discriminant validity. We carried out a confirmatory factor analysis using the χ 2 /df, CFI, GFI and RMSEA indexes. The invariance of the model in a second independent sample was estimated by multi-group analysis and internal consistency using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Items 5 and 9 presented factor weights below the adequate value and were removed. The three-dimensional and unifactorial model presented an adequate fit. We observed strong factorial invariance of the models in two independent samples (three-factor: ρλ = 0.62; pCov = 0.89, one-factor: ρλ = 0.81; pCov = 0.68) and weak factorial invariance between users and nonusers of dental prosthetics (threefactor: ρλ = 0.55; pCov = 0.01, one-factor: ρλ = 0.51; pCov = 0.02). The convergent validity was suboptimal. Internal consistency was adequate. The GOHAI applied to the study sample showed adequate reliability, factorial validity and stability in independent samples and between users and nonusers of dental prosthetics in both the threedimensional and the unifactorial structures.

“…Um estudo utilizou cinco dentistas na primeira tradução do instrumento. 18 Outro achado importante foi a falta da descrição da qualificação dos tradutores, como por exemplo, a encontrada nos estudos de Othman et al 19 , Soe et al 20 e Tapsoba et al 21 Alguns autores optaram por realizar a tradução em grupo, o que é recomendável 8 , mas não descreveram a quantidade de pessoas envolvidas. Dini et al 22 mencionaram apenas que o grupo que realizou a tradução no seu artigo era "pequeno", fato que dificulta muito a avaliação do seu trabalho.…”

“…Um número considerável de estudos se limitou a dizer que foi realizado um estudo piloto 22,23,36 ; outro que este foi aplicado a indivíduos que falam a língua alvo 28,29 . Dentre os que citaram o número de entrevistados, este variou de 13 a 90 indivíduos 17,19 . Nenhum estudo optou por utilizar indivíduos bilíngües no pré-teste, o que representa a grande dificuldade de aplicação deste tipo de metodologia.…”
