APAZA-RAMOS, Sonia et al. Influence of socio-demographic, familial factors and the state of oral health in the quality of life of Peruvian adolescents. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2015, vol.25, n.2, pp.87-99. ISSN 1019-4355.

Objectives: Evaluate the influence of socio-demographic, familial factors, and the state of oral health on the OHRQoL (Oral health-related quality of life) in Peruvian adolescents. Methods: For this descriptive transversal study, a random sample of 131 Peruvian adolescents aged 11 to 14 years was taken. What was used to gauge the CVRSB was The Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ11-14). The state of oral health was registered as the dental caries through the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index, bleeding gum, dental trauma, dental enamel hypoplasia, and orthodontic treatment need. Additionally, socio-demographic and familial factors were recorded through a questionnaire for parents. Results: The Poisson regression model showed predictors that influence the CVRSB on adolescents (p<0.05). Correlations low scores on the CPQ11-14 was also found, with some presence of dental caries, bleeding gum, considering also females, low family income, not having their own home, not living with both parents, living in overcrowding and consuming snuff and/or alcohol (p<0.05). Conclusion: The OHRQoL of Peruvian adolescents is influenced by several health determinants, not only for the clinical conditions but also by the socio-demographic and familial factors in which it is immersed.
