“…The oral function, which encompasses a set of processes such as chewing, swallowing and phonation, is one of the points of quality of life. Thus, any type of injuries or harms to the oral cavity can impair and brings discomfort to the patient, as found in the results pointed out by the present study and confirmed by the study carried out in Quebec [21]. In addition to these problems, psychological and physical aspects may worsen the patient's condition.…”

Objective: To assess the oral health-related quality of life of adult people regarding social, physical and psychological aspects. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional research conducted with adults living in Northeastern Brazil. Patients were assessed through three questionnaires: Sociodemographic (age, gender, skin color, marital status, education and income); OHIP-14 -instrument that assesses the impact of oral health on quality of life; COHI -Community Oral Health Indicator, which assesses: 1-Masticatory capacity; 2-Oral health injuries; 3-Use of dental prosthesis; 4) Dental visits.Results: The research was conducted from January to April 2015 in two randomly-selected Primary Health Care centers Participants were 264 people whose age ranged 18-59 years (mean 37.06 years and SD±10.994). Statistically significant differences were found between mean OHIP scores and socioeconomic data: skin color (p= 0.036) and education (p=0.022), oral health status: no visible cavities (p<0.001), sore gums (p=0.005), three or more visible cavities (p<0.001), and soft tissue injuries (p= 0.005). Conclusion:Quality of life was shown to be influenced by oral health status, although many interviewees reported having a good quality of life.

“…Therefore, the present research, which seeks to measure the impact of oral health status on the quality of life of adults, assumes that oral health is an "integral and inseparable part of an individual's general health", that is, it is notably a significant component of people's general health and quality of life [3,21].…”

“…Saintrain et al 54 claimed that oral discomfort including teeth number or dry mouth can influence the level of well‐being of old people. Do and Moon 37 showed moreover that toothache, masticatory discomfort and pronunciation problems have an adverse impact on the health‐related quality of life of old people. Neither oral discomfort nor food ‐ related oral discomfort were presently found dependent on the age.…”

“…Assessing sensations undergone while eating recently generated an increasing interest for industrials and researchers, especially related to the growing needs of senior populations. Nowadays, oral comfort experienced with foods can be explored through its unidimensional aspect by using visual, numerical or Likert scales 37 and/or its multidimensional aspects by using OHQoL questionnaires such as OHIP and GOHAI, 28 satisfaction questionnaires such as the McGill Satisfaction questionnaire 12 or the Dental Impact on Daily Living questionnaire, 38 and food comfortability 15 . The sensory dimension of the oral discomfort was presently assessed and measured in a similar way than pain, including quality, history, location and trigger factors of oral discomfort (with solid and liquid food products as reference).…”

Background Discomfort encountered during oral processing may cause food avoidance and increase the risk of malnutrition in older adults. The aim of the present survey was to explore the relationships between oral health and the oral discomfort experienced while eating in senior people. Materials and methods In a cross‐sectional study, oral discomfort was assessed in a sample of 119 independently living participants aged between 35 and 81 years. Statistical analyses were used to identify categorical variables associated with food‐related oral discomfort, including age, oral health‐related quality of life (OHQoL), saliva secretion, occluding support, oral diseases and denture use. Results Food‐related oral discomfort concerned 28.5% of the participants. Within the sample study, the risk of experiencing food‐related oral discomfort was increased for participants perceiving average (OR = 7.968, CI 95% = 2.603–24.381, p = .000) or poor OHQoL (OR = 17.109, CI 95% = 4.398–66.552, p = .000) and presenting strictly fewer than 7 occlusal functional units (OFUs) (OR = 3.396, CI 95% = 1.206–9.561, p = .020). Textured foods including fibrous (66.6%), heterogenous (60.6%) and grainy foods (42.4%) were mostly cited as food‐related oral discomfort trigger factors. Within the 66–80 years group, participants having 0–6 OFUs were four times more likely to experience oral discomfort related to fibrous foods than participants having more than 7 OFUs (OR = 4.812, CI 95% = 1.192–19.415, p = .024). Within this group, participants having their teeth replaced by denture were also four times more likely to develop oral discomfort related to foods with heterogeneous textures (OR = 4.714, CI 95% = 1.030–21.562, p = .045) and grainy foods (OR = 7.285, CI 95% = 1.308–40.568, p = .023) than non‐denture wearers. Conclusion Poor oral health conditions may generate oral discomfort with foods in the elderly especially with fibrous, heterogenous and grainy textures, and thus affect mealtime experience.

“…The masticatory discomfort has a more severe negative effect on QOL in the dimensions of “self-care” and “normal activities.” As well as “pronunciation problems” had a similar effect on all aspects of the quality of the life. [ 42 ]…”

BACKGROUND: The quality of life (QOL) is essential in all different stages of life; however, It is more important for older people as it can be effective in promoting their health. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the literature on the QOL in the Iranian elderly population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out as a systematic review. For this purpose, all databases were searched in March 2021. The keywords used for the search were “quality of life, elderly, older adults, aging, seniors, and Iran” along with the Persian equivalents. PRISMA protocol was used to screen articles. After removing duplicate and irrelevant items, two evaluators appraised the articles separately based on a researcher-made checklist derived from the SBEM and STROBE Statement standard checklists. RESULTS: The initial search yielded 3734 studies on the QOL in the Iranian elderly population. After screening and assessing the studies based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles remained in the study. Most of the studies (cross-sectional) were conducted in Tehran using a 36-item Short-Form Health Survey to assess the QOL. The studies investigated sociodemographic determinants, physical and health-related behaviors, and spirituality and psychological determinants of the QOL. The sociodemographic determinants were the most common factors under study. The results showed that the role of gender and socioeconomic status was the strongest among the sociodemographic characteristics. A significant association was found between the QOL in the Iranian elderly population and factors such as depression and religious confrontation. CONCLUSION: In addition to chronic diseases, diseases of the oral and dental, as well as an unhealthy diet, should be considered in the elderly. Therefore, attention should be paid to all social, physical, and psychological variables that affect the QOL of older people.
