Abstract

This study aimed to assess the prevalence and associated factors of dry mouth among older Thai adults using secondary data from the 9th National Oral Health Survey (2023). A total of 5,842 individuals aged 60–74 years from 25 provinces were included. Descriptive statistics, multiple linear regression, and Path Analysis were used for data analysis.

The findings indicated a low prevalence of dry mouth (11–25%). Female gender was significantly associated with dry mouth (OR = 1.640, p = .006). Other significant factors included cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, and long-term smoking behavior (p=.048). Oral health conditions affected by dry mouth, including root caries, tooth wear, higher Gingival index, and having less than 20 remaining teeth, were also significantly associated with dry mouth (p<0.05).
