ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study analyzed factors influencing oral health and quality of life in patients with dyslipidemia using raw data from the first year (2019) and third year (2021), where the quality of life was assessed using the HINT-8 tool from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey data. Methods: Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, general linear model analysis, and linear regression analysis were performed on the collected data using SPSS program 26.0, and the data of 1,926 participants were analyzed. Results: The mean quality of life (HINT-8) score was 0.78 out of 1.00. Quality of life according to general characteristics, showed significant differences according to gender, age, household income, education level, lifetime smoking status, and lifetime alcohol consumption. In terms of oral health, it significantly differed according to chewing discomfort, speaking discomfort, oral examination history, toothbrushing frequency, toothache history, untreated dental care needs, subjective oral health status and use of oral care products. The predictors of quality of life were gender, household income, education level, lifetime alcohol consumption, chewing discomfort, speaking discomfort, toothache history, and untreated dental care needs. Conclusions: These results confirm that oral health influences the quality of life of patients with dyslipidemia and are expected to provide basic data for research on improving oral health and quality of life in these patients.
