“…Regarding halitosis and the presence of tongue biofilm, there was a significant association in the present study, which is corroborated by Aizawa et al 32 and other studies 16,17 for different age groups. Zellmer et al 21 did not include analysis of tongue biofilm in their study on halitosis with institutionalized elderly people, and recognized this as a significant limitation.…”

“…Another factor to consider is that selfperception is subjective and has a multidimensional character, and reports by institutionalized elderly people of good and excellent oral conditions is common, despite the precarious situations identified by clinical examination 8 . Finally, a Japanese study 32 that evaluated institutionalized elderly persons regarding the occurrence of halitosis found that the disorder did not influence their quality of life (measured via SF-36). The confinement of the LTCF environment, with restricted interpersonal relations, and the finding of the present study that most cases of halitosis were of mild intensity, may diminish the psychosocial impact of halitosis and reduce the number of complaints about this condition.…”

Objective: to evaluate the prevalence of halitosis and associated factors in institutionalized elderly persons. Methods: a sectional study was performed with 268 elderly persons from 11 long-term care institutions in Natal in the northeast of Brazil. Data collection included an oral epidemiologic examination and questions about self-perception of oral health, as well as a consultation of medical records and the application of a questionnaire to the directors of the institutions. Halitosis was measured using the organoleptic test. The independent variables were oral, sociodemographic, institutional, general health and functional conditions. Bivariate analysis was performed using the Pearson chi-square test and Fisher's exact test, and the magnitude of effect was verified by the prevalence ratio for the independent variables in relation to the outcome, with a 95% confidence level. Results: the prevalence of halitosis was 26.1%, which was exhaled by the mouth in 98.57% of cases and by the nose in 10% of cases. Prevalence was 43% higher among nonwhite individuals ( p=0.006); 65% higher among those living in non-profit institutions ( p=0.039); 52% higher in elderly persons with oriented cognitive status ( p=0.047); 41% higher in elderly persons with root caries ( p=0.029); 62% higher in those who did not use dentures ( p=0.046); 57% lower in edentulous persons ( p<0.001); and 73% higher in elderly individuals with tongue biofilm ( p=0.001). Conclusion: The occurrence of halitosis in institutionalized elderly persons was similar to other studies, but there was an expressive number of extrabuccal cases and an association with oral health problems, as well as sociodemographic, institutional and functional factors.
