ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Background:
Hyposalivation is an objective decrease in salivary flow and it can produce xerostomia; which is a subjective sensation of dry mouth, common condition in senior population.Objectives:
To identify the association between xerostomia and hyposalivation and its risk factors in people aged 60 years and older, and to investigate the association with medications, habits and other oral complications.Methods:
211 participants were included. Xerostomia data was collected using a validated Spanish-Xerostomia Inventory (XI-sp). Unstimulated whole-salivary flow rates were measured to detect hyposalivation. Results were analyzed using Chi-square, Fisher tests and multivariate logistic regression analysis. p <.05.Results:
No significant association was detected between Xerostomia and Hyposalivation (p=.0666). Xerostomia 84.3%(p=.036) and hyposalivation 81.4%(p=.004) occur more frequently in women. A significant association was found between hyposalivation with the female gender (OR = 2.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-5.11, p=0.015); denture stomatitis (OR=3.71, 95% CI1.03-13.3, p=0.045) and atrophic glossitis (OR=3.72, 95% CI1.78-8.1, p=0.001). Only female gender (OR=2.54; 95% CI1.19-5.43, p=0.016) was significantly associated with xerostomia.Conclusions:
No statistically significant association was found between hyposalivation and xerostomia. A significant association was found between oral candidiasis, denture stomatitis and the atrophic tongue with hyposalivation. Being woman was a risk factor for xerostomia and hyposalivation.
