Abstract

Objectives: To describe the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and its potential influencing factors within the Myanmar population.

Methods: Data were from the first national oral health survey, involving 3,513 participants aged 15-18 years, 35-44 years, and 60-74 years from 21 selected townships in Myanmar. Self-administered questionnaire-based surveys, conducted from December 2016 to January 2017, included socio-demographics, behavioral factors, self-reported oral conditions (number of teeth present, teeth and gingival conditions), and inquiries regarding OHRQoL (a set of 12 questions with 5 response options) using the recommended questions from WHO Oral Health Surveys.

Results: The most prevalent oral health issues were difficulties in chewing (32.2%) and biting foods (30.8%). In bivariate analysis, older individuals, rural residents, and participants with higher educational levels were associated with OHRQoL. In multiple regression analysis, self-reported number of teeth, teeth and gingival conditions were strong predictors of OHRQoL in all age groups.

Conclusion: Self-rated oral health conditions predicted quality of life due to oral problems. The development of national oral health policies and strategies is imperative to facilitate early detection of oral health problems and promote the awareness of oral health importance.

缅甸人口与口腔健康相关的生活质量：2016-2017年第一次全国口腔健康调查。

目的：描述缅甸人口的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）及其潜在影响因素：描述缅甸人口中与口腔健康相关的生活质量（OHRQoL）及其潜在影响因素：数据来自首次全国口腔健康调查，涉及缅甸 21 个选定乡镇的 3513 名 15-18 岁、35-44 岁和 60-74 岁的参与者。自填式问卷调查于2016年12月至2017年1月进行，内容包括社会人口统计学、行为因素、自我报告的口腔状况（牙齿数量、牙齿和牙龈状况），以及采用世界卫生组织口腔健康调查推荐问题进行的有关口腔健康状况和生活质量的调查（一套12个问题，5个回答选项）：最普遍的口腔健康问题是咀嚼困难（32.2%）和咬食物困难（30.8%）。在二元分析中，老年人、农村居民和受教育程度较高的参与者与 OHRQoL 有关。在多元回归分析中，自我报告的牙齿数量、牙齿和牙龈状况是所有年龄组口腔健康状况的有力预测因素：结论：自评的口腔健康状况可预测因口腔问题导致的生活质量。当务之急是制定国家口腔健康政策和战略，以便及早发现口腔健康问题，提高人们对口腔健康重要性的认识。

In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
