失去牙齿被认为是正常衰老的一部分。然而，在发展中国家，与西方老年人相比，老年人的牙齿脱落与自我形象和生活质量的负面关系更大。这项研究调查了印度老年人牙齿脱落与自评健康、心理和主观幸福感的关系。数据来源于 2011 年开展的“印度人口老龄化知识库建设”(BKPAI) 调查。最终分析样本量为 9231 名老年人。进行描述性统计和双变量分析以及二元逻辑回归分析来实现研究目标。 12.3% 的老年人表示牙齿完全脱落。研究发现，报告牙齿脱落的老年人自评健康状况 (SRH) 较差的可能性显着增加 2.38 倍 [2.38；2.38]。 CI: 1.99,2.83] 比没有报告牙齿脱落的老年人要高。牙齿脱落的老年人心理健康状况不佳的几率比同龄人高[OR: 1.59; CI：1.33，1.91]。报告牙齿缺失的老年人主观幸福感较低的几率比未报告牙齿缺失的老年人高出 65% [OR: 1.65; CI：1.38，1.97]。牙齿完全脱落与老年人的性健康和生殖健康较差以及心理和主观幸福感较低有关，但通过努力保持良好的口腔健康是可以避免这种后果的。
Losing teeth has been considered as part of normal aging. However, in developing countries, tooth loss among older adults is shown to be more negatively associated with self-image and quality of life compared to their western counterparts. This study examines the association of tooth loss with self-rated health and psychological and subjective wellbeing among older adults in India. Data were derived from the "Building Knowledge Base on Population Ageing in India" (BKPAI) survey which was carried out in 2011. The final sample size for the analysis was 9231 older adults. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis along with binary logistic regression analysis were conducted to fulfil the objective of the study. A proportion of 12.3% of older adults reported complete tooth loss. It was found that older adults who reported tooth loss were 2.38 times significantly more likely to have poor self-rated health (SRH) [2.38; CI: 1.99,2.83] than older adults who did not report tooth loss. The odds of low psychological health were high among older adults who suffered from tooth loss than their counterparts [OR: 1.59; CI: 1.33,1.91]. Older adults who reported tooth loss had 65% significantly higher odds of low subjective well-being than older adults who did not report tooth loss [OR: 1.65; CI: 1.38,1.97]. Complete loss of teeth is associated with older individuals’ poor SRH as well as low psychological and subjective well-being, but such a consequence is avoidable by practising the efforts to maintain good oral health.
