Abstract

Las enfermedades bucales están asociadas con factores de riesgo que son comunes a enfermedades no transmisibles. La salud bucal tiene implicaciones sistémicas potencialmente multiorgánicas, que van desde una resistencia a la insulina producida por la presencia de enfermedad periodontal hasta complicaciones sistémicas multiorgánicas más complejas que involucran al sistema cardiovascular o incluso patología neurodegenerativa. El objetivo fue correlacionar la calidad de vida relacionada con salud oral y la calidad de vida relacionada con salud general en un grupo de adultos paraguayos. Estudio transversal donde participaron adultos paraguayos de ambos sexos. Se utilizaron los cuestionarios de la EuroQol (EQ-5D-3L) para medir la autopercepción en salud y el Perfil de Impacto de la Salud Oral (OHIP-14Py) para medir la calidad de vida relacionada con salud oral. Se utilizó el análisis de correlación de Pearson con un nivel de confianza del 95%. La muestra quedó conformada por 333 adultos, siendo 77,48% mujeres. El promedio del OHIP-14Py fue de 5,53±5,19. El EQ EVA promedio fue de 78,25±19,74. El 21,62% presentó angustia y/o depresión moderada y el 16,52% presentó dolor y/o malestar moderado. El 11111 correspondió al 56,46% y en el 33333 se encontró el 0,30% de la muestra. La correlación entre OHIP-14Py y EQ EVA fue negativo (Rho=-0,29; p<0,01), mientras que con el EQ-5D-3L fue positiva (Rho=0,21; p<0,01). Se reportaron niveles moderados y severos de angustia/depresión, dolor/malestar y alteración de actividades diarias por problemas con su salud. El OHIP-14Py se correlacionó significativamente con el EQ-5D-3L.
