Data was collected from 108 elderly with hypertension registered at public health centers in K city, from January-February, 2020. The collected data was analyzed by using chi-square test, t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, stepwise regression of the SPSS 22.0 program. The positive factors influencing the oral health-related quality of life are subjective health status(β=.351, p=.002), BMI(β=.271, p=.024), age(β=-.260, p=.028) and it was explained to 46.0% of the variance. In other words, the higher subjective health status, the higher body mass index, the younger age make the higher oral health-related quality of life.

The present study surveyed 300 adults who completed orthodontic treatment to determine their oral health-related quality of life and changes in oral health behavior in orthodontic patients. The collected data is analyzed using the spss 22.0 program. Before orthodontic treatment, social factors (4.68) had the lowest associated quality of life score, and after orthodontic treatment, socially related quality of life showed the highest increase at 3.72 points. Changes in oral health behavior showed that many phosphorus scaling increased by 1.28 points after correction compared to before correction. As oral health quality of life and oral health behavior have changed through orthodontic treatment, dental professionals need to take appropriate management of each patient's individual quality through health education.

This study intends to provide basic data to determine the effect of walking days on quality of life and oral health-related behaviors. Data from the 2019 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were used, and complex sample linear regression analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed to determine the effect of walking days on health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) and oral health-related behaviors. As a result, controlling for demographic characteristics, and increasing the number of walking, the health-related quality of life decreased by .284 times (p<.05) and improved by 1.485 times for oral examination, .082 times for dental caries treatment, and .009 times for nerve treatment. a fold decrease (p<.05). Therefore, it can be used as basic data on the relationship between adult walking and oral health-related behaviors and quality of life, and it is considered valuable in that it suggests the relationship between walking and oral health as well as general health.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the individually perceived quality of life in Korean patients with BMS using two questionnaires : the Medical Outcome Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49). This cross-sectional study included sixty subjects diagnosed with BMS and sixty healthy subjects as controls. All subjects in this study completed two questionnaires: the Medical Outcome Short Form Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-49), which had been translated into Korean and subsequently validated for use in Korea. All of the subscales in the SF-36 exhibited significantly lower scores in BMS patients than control groups. Comparison of the mean SF-36 scores between the two groups revealed the greatest differences to be for the subscales of physical pain and role emotional (role limitations due to emotional problems). The mean score on each subscale of the OHIP-49 was significantly higher in BMS patients than control groups. Comparison of the mean OHIP-49 scores between the two groups revealed the greatest difference to be for the subscale of physical pain. These findings demonstrated that BMS had an impact on various components of a patient's quality of life. BMS patients exhibited more impaired results and a poorer quality of life than control groups.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between masticatory ability and oral health-related quality of life using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) of the elderly. Total 195 elderly subjects were assessed for subjective masticatory ability, objective masticatory ability and OHIP-14 concerned with quality of life. When masticatory ability is low, the odds ratio(OR) of the quality of life is worse was increased. After adjusted age, residence, education, denture, odds ratio of subjective masticatory ability was 2.42(p<0.05) increased and odds ratio of objective masticatory ability was 7.58(p<0.001) increased. This study showed significant association between masticatory ability and the total OHIP-14 score of the quality of life of the elderly. Masticatory ability can affect quality of life oral health-related in elderly. While following up on various studies were carried out as a long-term, I hope it will be of help in improving the quality of life of the elderly with maintaining a healthy oral health.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the association of oral health of the elderly and oral health quality of life. The subjects of this study were 282 participants who received the fluoride application and the scaling service through program targeting elderly people carried out by a public health center located in Gyeongsangbuk-do Province. Data were collected from January 2011 to December 2011. The result of comparing subscale scores of quality of life related to oral health depending on socioeconomic characteristics showed that functional limitation scores were lower as educational level got higher. The result of comparing subscale scores of quality of life related to oral health depending on status of oral health and frequency of tooth brushing showed that quality in functional limitations, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability and handicap scores were lower as the number of cavities got more. The result of multiple regression analysis to identify the factors affecting the quality of life related to oral health showed that the number of cavities and installation of denture were significant variables. The results of this study showed that there was significant association of oral health status and oral health related quality of life of the elderly. In order to maintain the oral health related quality of life, it is important to keep many number of residual teeth even if a person gets older and to support the installation of dentures if necessary.
