Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders(TMD) symptoms,psychological distress and sleep quality in a population of Chinese university students,and discuss the relationship between psychological distress,sleep quality and TMD symptoms.Methods A total of 898 stomatological university students from 5 Chinese universities(342 males and 556 females with a mean age of 20.5 years) were included in the study.Self-reported TMD symptoms using diagnostic criteria for temporomandibular disorders symptom questionnaire were collected.Depression,anxiety and stress scales-21(DASS-21) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI) were used to measure psychological distress and sleep quality.Results 61.9％ (556/898) of the stodents had TMD symptoms.The most common symptoms were pain and clicking of joint,with a prevalence of 42.3％ (380/898) and 34.2％ (307/898),respectively.The prevalence of depression,anxiety,stress and sleep quality among the students who had TMD symptoms was 33.5％(186/556),63.1％(351/556),29.5％(164/556) and 30.2％(243/556),respectively,which was significantly higher than those who had no TMD symptoms(24.3％ [83/342],48.5％ [166/342],21.6％[74/342] and 21.9％[75/342])(P＜0.05).Stepwise logistic regression analysis demonstrated that anxiety (OR 1.57,95％CI 1.14-2.15) and female(OR 1.57,95％CI 1.19-2.08) were possible risk indicators for TMD symptoms(P＜0.05).Conclusions Chinese university students reported a high prevalence of TMD symptoms,which may have a correlation with psychological distress symptoms such as anxiety.
