College Students with Oral Habits Exhibit Worse Psychological Status and Temporomandibular-Related Quality of Life: A Correlational Study.


ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the relationship between oral habits, psychological status, and temporomandibular-related quality of life among college students.

Materials and methods

An online questionnaire was sent to college students who were willing to participate in this anonymous survey, which contained questions about the demographic characteristics of the participants, the Patient Health Questionnaire for Depression and Anxiety (PHQ-4), the Fonseca Anamnestic Index (FAI), and the Oral Health Impact Profile for temporomandibular disorders (OHIP-TMDs).

Results

A total of 505 valid questionnaires were collected from 200 males and 305 females (a mean age of 21.81 ± 2.81 years). The prevalence of oral habits in college students was 58% (294/505). Female gender (odds ratio (OR) 1.786) and having oral habits (OR 1.893) were associated with depression and anxiety. Medical students had significantly less depression and anxiety (OR 0.459) than nonmedical students. The possibility of suffering from temporomandibular disorder (TMDs) as evidenced by the OHIP-TMDs score was associated with female gender (OR 1.989) and having oral habits (OR 3.482). Students with oral habits had higher OHIP-TMDs scores.

Conclusion

More than half of the college students surveyed had specific oral habits, with a higher prevalence in women than in men. Having oral habits was related to a worse psychological status, higher risk of TMD, and worse temporomandibular-related quality of life.
