A three-dimensional Oral health-related quality of life framework for temporomandibular joint disorders: A structural analysis of the Oral Health Impact Profile-14.

Objectives: the objective is to analyze the structure and relationship between the components of the Oral health-related quality of life using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) for patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD).

Methods: two studies were examinated by means of factor analysis, multidimensional scaling and their spatial display in a cross-sectional design (n = 153).

Results: three-dimensional solutions with an adequate fit were found: residual distribution, root mean square of residuals (RMSR) = 0.

[Relationship between dysphagia and malnutritition in patients over 65 years of age].

Aims: The main objective of this study was to understand the relationship between oropharyngeal dysphagia, nutritional risk factors and functional impairment in the elderly (>65y) admitted to a medical-surgical hospital unit. Secondary objectives were to determine the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia, the nutritional status and their functional capacity.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was performed.
