“…As no studies have reported the associations between psychological factors and oral symptoms after a large-scale disaster, the results of this study were difficult to compare with those of previous studies. However, a well-known fact is that stress influences the worsening of oral symptoms [14,22,23]. Chronic stress has been reported to cause high glucocorticoid levels in the blood, suppressed immunity [24], and a lower threshold for chronic pain perception [25].…”

“…In a previous study in Otsuchi-cho, Iwate, Japan, Kishi et al reported that during the Great East Japan Earthquake [9], age, loss or damage of dentures, having fewer than 20 teeth, untreated teeth, and tooth mobility were factors associated with lower oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQOL). In addition, oral symptoms, including toothaches, have been found to be related not only to actual caries and periodontal disease but also to various other factors such as psychological problems, environment, and lifestyle [13,14]. People who lived in temporary housing after the Great East Japan Earthquake had a significantly higher prevalence of toothache [15].…”

Oral health is closely related to subjective general health and systemic diseases. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the factors related to oral symptoms and their worsening in relation to psychosocial factors after the Great East Japan Earthquake. In this study, 64,186 residents aged 15–101 years old, who experienced the earthquake on 11 March 2011, were surveyed regarding their oral symptoms; psychological factors, such as post-traumatic reactions and psychological distress; and social factors such as evacuation, work change, and loss of a close person; history of systemic diseases; and lifestyle. Binomial logistic regression analysis was used to calculate odds ratios, and 95% confidence intervals were established for each factor associated with prevalent and exacerbated oral symptoms. The proportions of participants with prevalent and exacerbated oral symptoms were 10.3% and 1.6%, respectively. The multivariate odds ratios and 95% CI of psychosocial factors associated with exacerbated oral symptoms were as follows: post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms, 2.24 (1.64–3.06); work changes, 1.88 (1.34–2.65); history of dyslipidemia, 1.74 (1.27–2.39); and subjective current poor health condition, 2.73 (2.00–3.75). Psychological factors, social factors, and physical factors were associated with both prevalent and exacerbated oral symptoms.
