th-cmuir.6653943832-10242014-08-29T09:17:37Z The prevalence of dental impacts on daily performances in older people in Northern Thailand. Srisilapanan P. Sheiham A. OBJECTIVE: To assess the prevalence of oral related impacts on the quality of daily life in older Thais. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study on a non-random sample. SETTING: Metropolitan area of Chiang Mai, Thailand Subjects: 707 older individuals living independently, aged 60 to 74 years, 549 were dentate, 158 were edentate. METHODS: Clinical examination and questionnaire for the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) index and on dental behaviours. RESULTS: About one half of the older people interviewed (52.8%) had at least one OIDP oral impact. The most common performance affected was eating (47.2%). The two main symptoms that caused oral impacts in the total sample were functional limitation and pain. The majority of older people had low OIDP scores below 8.0 (76.4%). Almost one in 10 had OIDP scores above 16.0. Individuals with a high income were more likely to have lower OIDP score (p<0.001). Subjects who had attended a dentist were more likely to have no oral impacts (p=0.02). There was a significant difference between OIDP scores related to some clinical variables; dental status (p=0.002), having mobile teeth (p=0.005), periodontal attachment loss (p<0.001), missing anterior and posterior teeth (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Oral impacts that affected quality of life of older people were relatively common but not severe. The impacts were related to some social and clinical variables. 2014-08-29T09:17:37Z 2014-08-29T09:17:37Z 2001 Article 07340664 11794735 http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0035753067&partnerID=40&md5=7fe5431ea64dcb8c80021b007e472a4d http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/handle/6653943832/1024 English |
