TI  - Influence of oral health on the quality of life of institutionalized and 
      noninstitutionalized elderly people.
PG  - 256-263
AB  - BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine the perception of institutionalized 
      (G1) and noninstitutionalized (G2) elderly people on oral health and quality of 
      life (QOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional, exploratory study 
      applied two instruments - the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) and 
      the World Health Organization QOL-Bref (WHOQOL-BREF) - in two cities of the state 
      of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Among the institutionalized elderly, G1 (n = 150), 50% were 
      not mentally able to answer the questions correctly, 12% did not answer all the 
      questions, and 7.34% refused to take part in the research or were too frail or 
      dependent, resulting in 31 institutionalized participants. In the 
      noninstitutionalized group, G2 (n = 80), 52.50% refused to take part in the 
      research, resulting in 38 noninstitutionalized participants. The elderly 
      individuals (i) who did not respond to three or more questions of the GOHAI, (ii) 
      those who did not answer all the questions of the WHOQOL-Bref, and (iii) those 
      who did not consent to participate in the research study were excluded from the 
      study population (P < 0.05 consider significant). RESULTS: The oral health of 
      both groups minimally affected the QOL of the elderly. The WHOQOL-Bref score 
      varied between the two study groups mainly in terms of physical domain and 
      self-perception of QOL. The study groups showed differences in some variables: 
      self-perception of QOL (P = 0.0209), mobility (P = 0.0057), and access to health 
      services (P = 0.0252). G2 presented the best conditions. CONCLUSION: The oral 
      health condition of both groups minimally affected the QOL of the participants; 
      however, differences in the self-perception of QOL were significant, mainly in 
      the physical domain.
