dc.description.abstractThe assessment of the relationship between oral health and quality of life (OHRQOL) is crucial to planning oral health care programs but there is paucity in research on such relationship among people with poor oral health. Objectives: To assess the OHRQOL among older diabetic people from inland Northern Portugal. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 250 type-2 diabetic individuals aged 65 years or more; 54% being female. Data collection included clinical examinations and structured interviews. The OHRQOL was assessed by using the OHIP-14 questionnaire (scale ranged from 0 to 56; higher scores indicating poorer OHRQOL). Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted separately by gender, using OHIP-14 score as dependent variable and oral health parameters (dry mouth, gengival bleeding, periodontal pockets, number of natural anterior and posterior teeth and prosthodontic rehabilitation) as explanatory variables. Multiple standardized regression coefficients (b) were obtained for variables that kept in the model through a stepwise procedure. Clinical examination revealed that women had poorer oral health than men. OHIP-14 score was significantly higher among women than among men (28.3 ± 13.30 vs 20.8 ± 12.28; p = < 0.001) Multiple regression analysis in male group showed that number of natural posterior teeth (β = -0.428; p < 0.001) and dry mouth (β = 0.225; p = 0.020) had significant association with OHIP-14 score. In female group there were no oral factors significantly associated with such score. Conclusions: The OHRQOL showed a different pattern by gender. Among men the number of natural posterior teeth had impact on OHRQOL, highligthing the importance of strategies in perserving natural teeth throughout lifetime.por
