Abstract

This study aimed to verify whether temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and age predict oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in both men and women. This is a quantitative, analytical, observational and cross-sectional research. The sample was chosen intentionally and for convenience, and consisted of 407 adults, of both genders, living in different regions of Brazil. A sociodemographic questionnaire was used with questions related to gender, age, education, and income, among others; the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and Fonseca Anamnesic Questionnaire also were used. Data were analyzed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Levene, bootstrapping, Student's t, Cohen's d, Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis (p<0.05). The women perceived themselves as having worse OHRQoL and higher TMD. The increase in TMD score is associated with worsening of OHRQoL, with greater intensity among women. For women, TMD was a positive predictor for all domains and the total OHRQoL score, while age presented a significant and positive prediction only on the domains of functional limitation (β=0.14), physical disability (β=0.17) and total score (β=0.10). For men, TMD was a positive predictor, while age did not present a significant prediction on the domains and the total OHRQoL score. Women perceived themselves as having worse OHRQoL and higher TMD. It is noteworthy that TMD was an intervening factor in the OHRQoL of both men and women, and age can potentiate this influence in women.
