An extended life span has made people in general pay more attention to the importance of health
as what affects the quality of life, and that also has contributed to having their health-related financial burden and pain compounded. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of the general health related lives of adults in an attempt to help formulate more efficient health-care policies and programs, to improve the health care of adults and ultimately to further their quality of life.
The subjects in this study were adults who were under 65 across the nation in Western age.
They were selected by using a table of random numbers from a KTF directory, and a self-administered survey was conducted by mail from March through June, 2006. Their answer sheets were gathered by mail, too. Dental hospitals and clinics that the selected people used were asked to provide information on their oral health status. Those who didn't use any dental hospitals or clinics were helped by this researcher to be tested by dentists or by dental hygienists under the supervision of dentists after dental institutions that were accessible to them were selected. 1,500 questionnaires were handed out, and the answer sheets from 586 people were gathered (response rate 39%). The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/PC WIN 12.0 program.
The major findings of the study were as follows;
1. As for the reliability of SF-36, an inventory of evaluating the quality of health-related life, Cronbach's alpha of it ranged from 0.7 to 0.9.
2. Concerning relations between their oral health state and the quality of life related to general
health and oral health, a higher quality of life was led by those whose occlusal conditions were
normal, whose dental calculus was less and who had a less number of missing teeth and prosthetic tooth. And the gap between them and the others was statistically significant. Missing teeth made a difference to the quality of life related to oral health by approximately 12 to 15 scores when the rate of missing teeth accounted for 30 percent or less. The number of prosthetic teeth made little difference to the quality of life, but the denture wearers were different from the others in the quality of life related to oral health by about 17 to 29 scores.
3. As for connections between oral health state and the quality of life related to general health,
those whose occlusal conditions were normal were in good shape, and dental calculus was closely tied into general health in five subcategories except for that of physical pain.
4. Regarding connections between the general characteristics of the subjects and their quality of
life related to health, those who were male, who were younger, who were better educated and
who had a larger monthly mean income, led a higher-quality of life in association with general
health and oral health. And the gap between them and the others was statistically significant.
5. Their gender had the biggest impact on their quality of life related to general health, followed
by age, the number of prosthetic tooth, the number of missing teeth and monthly mean income.
