Abstract

This study aims to investigate and compare the psychosocial and oral health factors among Myanmar older adults with and without a history of COVID-19 infection and assess the association between psychological factors and oral health outcomes among those with a history of COVID-19 infection. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 203 participants in Yangon from 2023 to 2024 using face-to-face interviews and clinical oral examinations. Participants with a history of COVID-19 infection experienced greater psychological distress and poorer oral health outcomes than those without such a history. In those who contracted COVID-19, depression positively associated with decayed teeth; decayed, missing, and filled permanent teeth (DMFT); and oral health impact profile-14 (OHIP-14), whereas negatively associated with present teeth. Anxiety positively related to decayed teeth, DMFT, and periodontal pockets. Stress negatively associated with decayed teeth, but positively with OHIP-14. Implementing oral health promotion programs and providing mental support for this vulnerable population are essential to improve their oral health and well-being.

缅甸老年人口腔健康与 COVID-19 感染相关的社会心理因素。
本研究旨在调查和比较有和没有 COVID-19 感染史的缅甸老年人的社会心理和口腔健康因素,并评估有 COVID-19 感染史的老年人的心理因素与口腔健康结果之间的关联。这项横断面研究于 2023 年至 2024 年在仰光对 203 名参与者进行了面对面访谈和临床口腔检查。与无COVID-19感染史者相比,有COVID-19感染史者的心理压力更大,口腔健康状况更差。在感染 COVID-19 的人群中,抑郁与龋齿、龋齿、缺失和填充的恒牙(DMFT)以及口腔健康影响档案-14(OHIP-14)呈正相关,而与现有牙齿呈负相关。焦虑与蛀牙、DMFT 和牙周袋呈正相关。压力与蛀牙呈负相关,但与 OHIP-14 呈正相关。实施口腔健康促进计划并为这一弱势群体提供心理支持,对于改善他们的口腔健康和福祉至关重要。
