A group of normal weight patients with halitosis, matched in age group and gender were enrolled as a control group for comparison. Patients who have either oral causes of the condition or pseudo halitosis or halite-phobia or were using drugs like phenytoin, cyclosporine or calcium channel blockers, isosorbide di-nitrate, Chloral hydrate, Nitrites and Nitrates, Dimethyl sulphoxide, Disulphiram, cytotoxic agents, Phenothiazine were excluded.Interventions/methodsThe work conducted over a period of 6 years from February 1st, 2012 to March 1st, 2018. Prospective evaluation of the type and etiology of halitosis was done by using organoleptic measurement, which is not a slandered but evaluated by a group of academic colleagues. The patients were advised to avoid eating odiferous foods for 48 hours before the assessment and both the patient and the examiner should refrain from drinking coffee, tea or juice, smoking and using scented cosmetics before the assessment.ResultsHalitosis in the overweight and obese patients magnifies the negative aspects of quality of life: avoidance, narrow social circle (P Value?=?0.3415, 95% confidence interval?=?11.43924-29.67085), avoidance of sex by partner (P Value?=?0.0143, 95% confidence interval?=?04.11537-17.08480), low self-esteem (P Value?=?0.0100, 95% confidence interval?=?10.66794-28.44776), teasing by others and negative thoughts (P Value?=?0.4013, 95% confidence interval?=?11.43924-29.67085). While obesity was not a cause of avoidance of to be kissed by partner in obese patients, but was a direct cause for this avoidance in obese patients with halitosis (P Value?=?0.0143, 95% confidence interval?=?04.11537-17.08480). Halitosis in normal weight patients affects the quality of life remarkably but not to the extent of halitosis in overweight and obese patients, especially social life and self-esteem which will suffer most.ConclusionsThe quality of life of overweight and obese, especially emotional and social aspects was significantly disturbed by halitosis more than normal weight subjects with halitosis.
