According to recent research from Kirikkale, Turkey, "The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of self-reported halitosis (SRH) and perceived taste disturbance (PTD) and analyze their association with age, gender, subjective oral dryness, burning mouth, tongue coating, number of teeth remaining, and type of dentures and wear duration in healthy elderly. Subjects who neither reported systemic disorders nor medication use were included in the study."

"The participants of this study were 254 healthy subjects, 116 males (mean age: 63.2 +/- 7.2 years) and 138 females (mean age: 61.9 +/- 6.8 years), all aged 55 years and above. A self-administered structured questionnaire on SRH and PTD was given to the participants. Each subject underwent a comprehensive dental examination by one of the examiners. The number of carious teeth, number of restorations, type of dentures (fixed-partial, removable-partial or complete dentures) and wear duration, and tongue coating status were recorded. Associations of the categorical background variables (age, gender, smoking status, tooth brushing frequency) with SRH and PTD were examined using the chi(2)-test. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was used to analyze the relationship between taste disturbance and SRH with relevant variables (p

The researchers concluded: "Smoking was found to be associated with SRH."

Nalcaci and colleagues published their study in Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics (Factors associated with self-reported halitosis (SRH) and perceived taste disturbance (PTD) in elderly. Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics, 2008;46(3):307-316).
