Self-reported oral health status. P ≤ 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
Periodontal status and work stress were significantly associated with oral health-related quality of life.
Outcome: presence or absence of oral impact on daily performance; outcome adjusted for age and sex.
OR, odds ratio; 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
