老年口腔健康评估指数得分与社区老年人一般身体状况的关系目的：本研究的目的是探讨社区老年人口腔健康评估指数(GOHAI)与一般身体状况的关系。我们假设GOHAI是老年人一般身体状况的重要指标。方法：这项研究包括354名独立生活的成年人(年龄65岁)。采用体重指数、握力、单腿睁眼站立时间评价一般身体状况。计算Spearman等级相关系数，以检验GOHAI评分及其三个细分类别(身体功能、心理功能和疼痛与不适)与每个身体状况测量之间的关系。结果：GOHAI评分及其3个细分类别与握力呈正相关。身体机能类别与单腿站立时间呈正相关。GOHAI及其疼痛和不适类别得分被保留在握力的逐步回归模型中，在调整人口统计、心理社会、医疗和牙齿状况后，显著的关系持续存在。结论：GOHAI得分及其疼痛和不适类别得分可能是身体肌肉力量的重要指标。
Relationships between Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index scores and general physical status in community-dwelling older adultsObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and general physical status among community-dwelling older adults.Background: Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index is a patient-centred assessment of oral health for older adults. We hypothesised that GOHAI is a significant indicator of general physical status of older adults.Methods: This study included 354 adults (age, 65 years) living independently. Body mass index, handgrip strength and one-leg standing time with eyes open were used to evaluate the general physical status. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the relationships between the GOHAI scores, its three subdivided categories (physical function, psychological function and pain and discomfort) and each physical status measurement. A stepwise linear regression model was applied with each physical status measurement as the dependent variable and the GOHAI scores and its subdivisions as the principal independent variable.Results: Positive correlations were found between the GOHAI scores, its three subdivided categories and handgrip strength. The physical function category positively correlated with one-leg standing time. The GOHAI and the pain and discomfort category scores were retained in the final models of stepwise regression for handgrip strength, and significant relationships persisted after adjustments for demographic, psychosocial, medical and dental status.Conclusion: The GOHAI scores and its pain and discomfort category score may be significant indicators of body muscle strength.
