Role of behavioural and age-related factors in the long-term impact of tooth loss on oral health-related quality of life: A 25-year follow-up of Swedish older adults

• The primary aim of this study was to assess any long-term association between tooth loss at age 50 and subsequent impaired oral health-related quality of life, OHRQoL, at age 65, 70 and 75, adjusted for time invariant socio-demographic-and time variant behavioural and age-related factors in terms of disadvantages with functional, social, health and psychological concerns. As a second aim, this study examined whether behavioural- and age-related factors played a role in explaining any long-term association between early tooth loss and subsequent OHRQoL.
