    Background: This study aimed to investigate associations between mental health and several parameters of oral health, controlling for a variety of important covariates, in a large representative sample of Spanish people. Methods: Data from the Spanish National Health Survey 2017 were analysed. Mental (i.e., depression, chronic anxiety, other psychiatric disorders) and oral health (i.e., dental caries, dental extraction, dental filling, gingival bleeding, tooth movement, dental material, missing tooth) were evaluated. Control variables included sex, age, marital status, education, smoking, alcohol consumption, and physical multimorbidity. Associations between psychiatric conditions (independent variables) and the number of poor oral health outcomes (dependent variable) were assessed using Poisson regression models. The associations were investigated in the overall population, in married participants and in those who were single/widowed/divorced/separated. Results: There were 23,089 participants [54.1% women; mean (standard deviation) age 53.4 (18.9) years]. The prevalence of at least one psychiatric condition was 15.4% in the overall sample, while the mean (standard deviation) number of poor oral health outcomes was 2.9 (1.4). There was a positive association between any psychiatric condition and the number of poor oral health outcomes [incidence rate ratio (IRR)=1.10; 95% confidence interval: 1.07-1.12], and there was a significant interaction between any psychiatric condition and marital status. The association was stronger in those participants who were single/widowed/divorced/separated. Limitations: Cross-sectional study. Oral and mental health were assessed with Yes/No questions. Exposure, outcome and covariates were self-reported. Conclusions: Those with poor mental health have worse oral health but being married has some protective benefits.

    Impacto del nivel de actividad física y estado civil en la vulnerabilidad de la salud psicofísica en personas mayores de 60 años: mayor atención sociosanitaria
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Sanchis-Soler, Gema; Parra Rizo, Maria Antonia
    Antecedentes.Actualmente se desconocen con exactitud las repercusiones de vivir solo/a en personas mayores sanas sobre el nivel de actividad física (AF) practicada, relaciones sociales, atención sociosanitaria requerida y salud subjetiva. Objetivos.El objetivo ha sido evaluar diferencias en salud, relaciones sociales y atención sociosanitaria de personas mayores activas en función de su nivel de AF y situación familiar (estado civil). Metodología.Participan 397 personas mayores de 61 años (M=69,65; DT=4,71; 64,7% mujeres y 35,3% hombres), pertenecientes a dieciocho centros deportivos, sociales y zonas exteriores deportivas de Alicante. Se utilizó el IPAQ para evaluar la AF y CUBRECAVI para los indicadores de calidad de vida. Se realizó un análisis de varianza multivariados (MANOVAs) para estudiar las diferencias entre los/as participantes según su nivel de AF y su situación familiar. La significación se estableció en p<,05. Resultados.Los resultados mostraron que la salud subjetiva (p<,001; VCramer=,291), frecuencia de relaciones sociales (p<,001, ƞ2=,028) y satisfacción con los servicios sociosanitarios (p=,009; VCramer=,147) difieren según elnivel de AF. La frecuencia y satisfacción de las relaciones sociales (p<,001,ƞ2=,252) y la utilización de los servicios sociosanitarios difieren según la situación familiar (p=,032; VCramer=,153). Conclusión.En conclusión, el estado de bastante satisfacción con su salud subjetiva y con el uso de servicios sociosanitarios esdirectamente proporcional alnivel de actividad física practicada.Las relaciones sociales de solterosson menos satisfactorias y frecuentes, utilizandomás los servicios sociosanitarios.
