N2 - Objectives Identify and analyze determinants for oral-health-related quality of life among adults admitted to a Danish research program on general health and lifestyle (DANHES 2007-2008) Materials and methods Study population: 4402 volunteers invited among participants of main study (n=18065) in 12 Danish cities. Age 18-96 years (average 54) Structured interviews (from main study and dental study) and clinical oral examination Oral-health-related quality of life measured by a 10 item index Non-parametric statistical methods, chi-square, simple and multivariate logistic regression Conclusions Regular dental visits and high number of natural teeth are determinants for high level of oral-health-related quality of life Untreated caries, wearing dentures and high caries experience are determinants for reduced oral-health-related quality of life Results 33 persons were edentulous, 7 % wore dentures , mean DMFS = 62 88% were regular users of dental care 24 % reported oral-health-related quality of life problems 6 % reported score of 3 or more oral-health-related quality of life problems (maximum score = 30) Most frequent problems because of appearance of teeth (or dentures) : Feeling embarrassed (13 %) Feeling tense (9 %) Avoid smiling/laughing (6 %) Difficulties with eating food due to mouth or teeth problems 9 %
