[Prevalence of xerostomia in the general population].

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:Principally, to establish the prevalence of xerostomia in the general population and, second, to find the association of xerostomia with the consumption of tranquillizers and anti-depression, anti-allergy, anti-Hypertension and hypnotic drugs. DESIGN:A crossover study of prevalence. SETTING:The urban area of Sant Joan Despí, Barcelona. PARTICIPANTS:Random sample, stratified by age and gender (268 people). MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS:A telephone survey on xerostomia and drugs intake was conducted. Prevalence in the population of xerostomia was 9.7%. There was a linear relationship between being older and greater prevalence of xerostomia. The differences found for gender was not significant. There was an association between xerostomia and intake of the aforesaid drugs. CONCLUSIONS:The high prevalence of xerostomia and its association with commonly used drugs should arouse doctors to seek adequate solutions.
