目的：本研究的目的是评估社区居住老年人剩余牙齿数量与健康相关生活质量之间的关系。对象：共有207名参与者，年龄85岁，居住在社区。数据来自日本福冈县一项基于人群的年龄相关全身健康和口腔健康研究。测量方法：日本版简表36健康调查（SF-36）。结果：参与者的心理成分得分，从SF-36，高于日本国家标准的年龄为100或= 70岁。在SF-36的平均得分上，有无配偶、与家人住在一起或教育水平没有显著差异。年龄85岁、牙数为0或= 20的老年人身体功能SF-36得分和身体成分得分均值显著高于牙数<或= 19的老年人（p < 0.05和p < 0.01）。此外，在调整了居住地区、日常生活活动（ADL）和性别后，>或= 20牙的受试者与<或= 19牙的受试者的平均值有显著差异（p < 0.05）。在日常生活活动（ADL）评估良好的参与者中，PF （p < 0.001）、角色-身体（p < 0.005）、身体疼痛（p < 0.001）、活力（p < 0.001）、社会功能（p < 0.05）和身体成分（p < 0.001）得分显著较高。然而，ADL与牙齿数量无关。结论：本研究结果表明，85岁受试者中，牙数为>或= 20的受试者的主观身体健康状况优于牙数<或= 19的受试者。
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between number of remaining teeth and health-related quality of life in community-dwelling elderly.SUBJECTS: A total of 207 participants who were community-dwelling, 85 years of age. Data were from a population-based study of age-related general and oral health in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan.MEASUREMENTS: The Japanese version of the Short Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36).RESULTS: The mental component score for the participants, from the SF-36, was higher than the Japanese national norm for those aged > or = 70 years. There were no significant differences in the mean of any scores on the SF-36 by having spouse, living with family, or education level. The mean of the SF-36 scores of physical functioning (PF) and of the physical component scores were significantly higher in the 85-year-old participants with > or = 20 teeth than in those with < or = 19 teeth (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01 respectively). In addition, a significant difference (p < 0.05) was observed between the mean of participants with > or = 20 teeth and those with < or = 19 teeth after adjustment for region where the participant lived, activities of daily living (ADL), and sex. The PF (p < 0.001), role-physical (p < 0.005), bodily pain (p < 0.001), vitality (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.05), and physical component (p < 0.001) scores were significantly higher in participants with a good activities of daily living (ADL) assessment. However, ADL was not associated with the number of teeth.CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study indicated that 85-year-old participants with > or = 20 teeth had better subjective physical health than those with < or = 19 teeth.
