Abstract

The elderly population in the Special Region of Yogyakarta ranks first, with a total of 14.7 million people in 2020. The aging process causes health problems, decreased organ function, and various physical changes at all cellular, organ, and system levels, increasing disease incidence in the elderly, both at acute and chronic levels. Chronic and metabolic diseases, geriatric syndromes, manifestations or complaints due to polypharmacy and dental and oral health disorders can cause changes in the quality of life of the elderly. The aim of this study is to identify the oral health-related quality of life for patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus in the Prolanis management program during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This research is descriptive observational with a cross-sectional design. This study included 45 participants in the Prolanis program at the Pratama Aisyiyah Moyudan Clinic, which were taken using the purposive sampling technique. The variables of this study were Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and the results of laboratory examinations of blood sugar and blood pressure. The instrument was the GOHAI (WHO) index. Analysis of the data used the frequency distribution. Most of the respondents were female (64.4%), and systemic diseases included hypertension (48.9%) and diabetes mellitus (24.4%). The highest prevalence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus was among female respondents aged 65–72 years. The average blood pressure was 139/76 mmHg, while the average blood sugar level was 115.5 mg/dl. The average OHRQoL score was 54 (medium). Hypertension and diabetes mellitus were the most common diseases experienced by female respondents aged 65–72 years. The quality of life or OHRQoL of the majority of respondents was moderate.
