摘要

背景：牙周疾病一直是成年人常見的口腔疾病，而台灣地區口腔保健研究對於生活品質和牙周疾病相關研究報告仍有限，因此瞭解成人牙周疾病與生活品質狀況是非常重要的。本研究主要目的是探討牙周疾病與整體健康以及生活品質的相關性。
方法：以抽樣調查的方式，調查嘉義縣市、台南縣市地區居民之牙周疾病（社區牙周指數、牙周附連喪失）和生活品質(SF-36)的關係，資料收集方式是以問卷調查及臨床口腔檢查。
結果：共有325人完成口檢及問卷，其中男性佔45.13%（147人）、女性佔54.87%（178人）。在社區牙周指數及牙周附連喪失方面，正常者的比例女性(36.90%、62.72%)皆高於男性(30.95%、53.34%)；其中又以年齡層18-34歲在社區牙周指數及牙周附連喪失之正常者比率最高(42.66%、73.02%)，且年齡層越高其社區牙周指數及牙周附連喪失較差。迴歸分析的結果中發現牙周狀況與生活品質中整體心理健康和活力狀況具有顯著性相關。
結論：本研究中，牙周附連喪失愈嚴重，則整體心理健康差異越大，而生活品質也較差。

Background: Periodontal disease is a common adult oral disease. However, oral health research relating to quality of life and periodontal disease is rather limited here in Taiwan. As a result, it is essential to have a general idea of adult periodontal disease concerning the quality of life. The aim of this study was to explore the differences in adult periodontal disease and the entire health status, and the relationship between periodontal disease and quality of life.
Methods: By means of sample investigation, residents in Chiayi County and city and Tainan County and city were investigated about the relationship of periodontal disease (community periodontal index and periodontal attachment loss) and the quality of life (SF-36). The data were collected by means of quesionnaires and clinical oral examinations.
Results: There were 325 people selected as the study sample. For community periodontal index and periodontal attachment loss, the percentages of disease-free were higher in women (36.90%, 62.72%) than in men (30.95%, 53.34%). Similarly, people at the age level from 18 to 34 had the highest percentages of free from the two diseases (42.66%, 73.02%). The severity of periodontal situation increased as the age increased. The quality of life was also decreased as the worse of the periodontal diseases. The logistic regression anal3 sis had shown that periodontal disease was significantly associated with the mental and physical condition measured by quality of life.
Conclusion: In this research, the periodontal disease was significantly associated with the quality of life.
