Impacts of oral health on life quality metrics: correlations with job function, psychological well-being, self-perception, and dietary behavior by Mohammad Helmi

“…IntroductionThis study evaluates the impact of oral health issues on critical areas of daily functioning, including job performance, psychological well-being, self-rated oral health, and dietary habits.MethodsUtilizing NHANES data, the analysis applies Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and data visualization techniques (scatter plots, heatmaps, and box plots) to quantify associations between oral health variables, such as mouth aching (OHQ620), food avoidance (OHQ660), job difficulty due to mouth issues (OHQ640), and embarrassment (OHQ680).ResultsStrong correlations were found between mouth aching and job difficulty due to mouth issues, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.99, and between difficulty eating (OHQ670) and job difficulty due to mouth issues, with a coefficient of 0.98. …”
