A study about oral health-related quality of Life among 11-14 years old children in Shanghai municipality

Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To assess oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among 11-14 years old children in Shanghai municipality and investigate the influential factors, in order to provide theoretical evidence for pointed oral health education and public health strategies formulation. METHODS: Systematic sampling method was used to extract 11-14 years old children in Shanghai municipality. The decay missing filling tooth (DMFT) and gingival bleeding index (GBI) were examined and recorded. Child oral-health-related quality of life questionnaires(CPQ_11-14) was adopted to assess the OHRQoL. Other enquiry included sociodemographic background and oral health-related behaviors, knowledge and attitudes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 21.0 software package. RESULTS: This study examined 1050 children of 11-14 years old, among which 955 children (urban 482,suburb 473) were enrolled. The response rate was 91%. The mean CPQ_11-14 score was (6.0±5.6). Statistical analysis showed that children with higher DMFT index and bleeding on probing had higher CPQ_11~14 average score and poorer oral health related quality of life (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Caries and periodontal disease have negative effect on OHRQoL of 11-14 years old children. Efforts are needed to strengthen oral health care, including good oral health education, and focusing on halitosis and oral mucosal diseases in children aged 11-14 years old.
