Abstract

Background: The elderly are a population group experiencing physical, psychological, and social changes. In elderly women, these changes tend to be more complex due to biological and hormonal factors. These changes can affect functional ability and overall health, including oral health. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) is an important aspect that needs to be considered to improve the well-being of elderly women. Existing literature on this subject with focus on elderly women is still limited. This study aims to describe the quality of life and oral health status of elderly women in Tajur Village, Purwakarta. Methods: This is a quantitative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design in the form of a pilot study. There were 12 respondents obtained using total sampling technique. Results: The majority of respondents were in the 60-74 age group (83.3%). The results revealed that 9 (75%) respondents had a low quality of life and 3 (25%) respondents had a moderate quality of life. No respondents were found with a high quality of life. Conclusion: Low GOHAI score indicates limitations in physical, psychological, and functional aspects. These findings indicate that the OHRQoL among elderly women remains low and requires further management.
