ABSTRACT

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in quality of life between groups that promote oral health and those that treat oral diseases using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS ver. 21.0 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA). A total of 3,338 subjects were selected as subjects for the study before applying oral health promotion (OHP; 1,132 persons) and oral disease treatment (ODT; 2,206 persons). Complex sample logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effects of OHP and ODT on health-related quality of life. Results: As a result of confirming the effect of OHP and ODT on the quality of life, which are indicators of the quality of life, HINT-8 had a significant effect even in Model 2, adjusted for demographic characteristics, with a significant difference (p<0.01). Conclusions: The above results confirmed that persons who promote oral health have a significant effect on HINT-8, a quality of life scale developed for Koreans. Therefore, continuous oral care is required to improve quality of life.
