Oral health status of a population depends on edentulism (partial). Tooth loss has an impact in various aspects of quality of life of an individual. The prevalence and extent have been reduced in various countries because of advancing technologies. Various different classifications have been proposed in the previous literature for partial edentulism. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted from the period of June 2019 to April 2020 between the age group 25-40 years for the population visiting a private dental college. Data collection was done and statistically analyzed using SPSS Software. Out of the 4829 population included in the study, 42.4 % were female and 57.6% of the males. Based on the age, 50.3% were within 25-30years, 25.1% of them were 31-35 years and 24.6% of them between 36-40 years. Based on gender, Females were 42.3% and males were 57.6%. There was a significant association between the age, gender and missing tooth. It can be concluded that the prevalence of edentulism increases with age, thereby needing prosthodontic rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND India is doubly burdened with communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCD). Knowledge regarding morbidity profile is important for timely intervention so as to improve the quality of life. For effective health strategies, it is important to know the disease burden of a community. As for the effective preventive strategies, it’s important to know the information regarding disease burden and changing trends of diseases in the locality. Hence this study was done to find the morbidity pattern of urban population in Bellary district, Karnataka. METHODS A cross sectional study was carried out in Millerpet, urban health training centre (UHTC), Bellary, Karnataka. The respective UHTC covers 69195 populations, which has eight wards. Simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the ward. The study was carried out in the selected ward and the study duration was for a period of 3 months. Based on the estimated sample size, 416 houses were selected using random number method. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 26 was used for analysing data. Descriptive statistics were used to describe socio demographic and morbidity conditions. RESULTS The most common morbidity among 416 houses were found to be diabetes (22.8 %) followed by hypertension (20 %) and musculoskeletal problems (9 %). Majority of the houses were of nuclear type and the most common age group was 31 - 60 (91.8 %) years followed by 13 - 30 years (80.8 %). 167 (40.1 %) houses had at least one morbidity and 451 (41.4) subjects had at least one morbidity. Socio-demographic variables like age group, family size, monthly income, occupation of head of the family and type of the family were found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed that non communicable are the most common diseases present and there is a need to further evaluate the factors responsible so that preventive measures can be taken at the earliest so as to improve the quality of life.

Summary Background: Haemophilia is a congenital disorder of coagulation with high economic burden due to its requirement for an expensive, lifelong replacement therapy, with additional costs for the frequent complications and for the severe handicapping consequences. The objective of this cross-sectional study aimed at giving an insight into the health condition of young haemophiliacs in the absence of a regular prophylactic therapy. Methods: It was conducted on a heterogeneous group of 37 children and adolescents (4–24 years of age), with similar on demand therapeutic regimen, coming from the whole country, focusing on the joint status by using the Haemophila Joint Health Score (HJHS) system and on quality of life (QoL) by using the EQ-5D-3L-Y questionnaire. Results: The results revealed an impressive situation: 70.3 % with chronic arthropathy, 19 % with target joints, 69 % with multiple joint involvement, mainly elbow (41 %) and knee (34 %), joint damage starting in the age group 6–12 years (18.18 % arthropathy vs. 96 % in the age group above 12 years). Joint score (6.67 ± 7.92), gait score (0.75 ± 1.14) and HJHS (7.43 ± 8.78) were highly correlated (r = 0.7, p = 0.001) with the annualised bleeding rate ABR (16.2 ± 12.1). They impacted the QoL in all domains, also expressed by a VAS of 68.39 ± 21.6. Conclusion: We concluded that in the situation of an international consensus that prophylactic replacement can prevent cost-effectively and cost-efficiently the deleterious joint damages, our study is supporting the introduction even of secondary and tertiary prophylaxis in young patients in our country.

The aim of the current study was to compare lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), erectile dysfunction (ED), and quality of life (QoL) in poststroke and healthy men. Thirty poststroke men with stroke-related LUTS, and as controls, 96 healthy men participated in this controlled, cross-sectional study. Participants filled in the Danish Prostate Symptom Score (DAN-PSS-1) Questionnaire, the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5), the 36-Item Short Form (SF-36), the Nocturia Quality-of-Life (N-QoL) Questionnaire. In the age group ≤55 years, comparing poststroke men with healthy controls both with LUTS, the results indicated DAN-PSS-1, total score median 13 (4-17) versus 3 (2-6), p = .05; IIEF-5 25 (14-25) versus 24 (23-25), p = .06; SF-12, total score 499 (360-679) versus 695 (644-734), p = .02; and N-QoL 98 (70-100) versus 96 (90-100), p = .65. In the age group >55 years, comparing poststroke men with healthy controls both with LUTS, the results indicated DAN-PSS-1, total score 13 (8-24) versus 5 (2-7), p < .01; IIEF-5 13 (5-20) versus 25 (24-25), p < .01; SF-36, total score 585 (456-718) versus 742 (687-772), p < .01; and N-QoL, total score 81 (66-95) versus 98 (80-100), p < .01. The results demonstrated that in age group above, but not below 55 years, poststroke men with LUTS had significantly higher frequency of severe and bothersome LUTS and ED than the healthy controls with LUTS, while QoL and N-QoL were significantly lower in comparison. It is recommended to identify and assess older poststroke men for LUTS, ED, and QoL.

Spiritual Well Being

Urinary incontinence (UI) increases the risk of medical complications and psychosocial, physical, and emotional problems. PURPOSE: This cross-sectional descriptive study investigated the correlation between spiritual well-being (SWB) and quality of life (QOL) in patients with UI. METHODS: Patients with UI visiting an outpatient urology clinic of a university hospital in Turkey were invited to participate. Data were collected using the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Spiritual Well-Being 12 Item Scale (FACIT-Sp-12) (range 0–48 with higher scores indicating better SWB) and the Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QOL) (range 0–100 with higher scores indicating better QOL). RESULTS: The sample consisted of 383 patients. Most were female (235; 61%), had completed high school (169; 44%), had experienced UI for an average of 3.54 years (SD 3.44), and were between 21 and 92 years of age (mean 52.7; SD 14). The mean I-QOL score was 65.31 ± 19.71 with subscores ranging from a low of 59.69 for social embarrassment to a high of 71.44 for psychosocial impact. The average FACIT-Sp-12 score was 28.00 ± 6.08. Overall I-QOL and FACIT-Sp-12 scores were weakly positively correlated (r = .235). CONCLUSION: In this study both QOL and SWB scores were good; higher UI-specific QOL scores and some subscores were associated with higher SWB scores and subscores. Incontinence QOL should be determined together with SWB in patients with UI.
