Background: Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the main determinants of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), where people with lower SES experience more health problems, have a lower quality of life, and are exposed to have a greater number of healthrelated risk factors. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the relationships between HRQoL, SES, and several demographic factors among the residents of the city of Ilam (located at the West of Iran). Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted on 400 households from 3 districts of the city of Ilam in 2015. The participants were selected on the basis of the multistage sampling method. The second version of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12v2) questionnaire and the Wealth Index were used to measure HRQoL and SES, respectively.

PurPose: This multidisciplinary prevalence study had the objective of identifying the prevalence of TMD, chronic pain and quality of life in institutionalized elderly patients in southern Brazil, including depression and somatization levels. MeThoDs: Forty subjects (55% women, mean age=75 years±s.D., 80% Caucasian) in need of dental treatment were selected from two long-term elderly institutions in the city of Porto alegre. The World health organization Quality of Life (WhoQoL) questionnaire was used for assessing quality of life, the research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (rDC/TMD) for TMD signs and symptoms as well as depression and somatization levels, and the North York Dental health survey (NYDhs) for the oral health status. resuLTs: approximately 60% completed elementary school. It was also a low income population (85%, $75 to $500 american dollars per month). Most (56.4%) were born in the countryside. Ten percent had high intensity pain, with 2.5% accompanied by moderate limitation. These severe signs and symptoms of TMD were associated with significant disability in daily functions and had a negative impact in the level of psychological stress and quality of life in institutionalized patients. In addition, almost 97.5% of the elderly has shown some degree of depression, and 57.5% had moderate to strong somatization levels. CoNCLusIoNs: The proportion of elderly with severe TMD signs and symptoms was low; however, the great frequency of depression and somatization, with a good number of them in actual treatment need, highlights the importance of evaluating the elderly in all aspects.Keywords: temporomandibular disorder; orofacial pain; depression; somatization; quality of life; elderly.RESUmO oBjeTIVo: esse estudo multidisciplinar de prevalência teve como objetivo identificar a prevalência de TMD, dor crônica e qualidade de vida de pacientes idosos institucionalizados no sul do Brasil, incluindo depressão e níveis de somatização.
