This condition can impair essential oral functions such as chewing, swallowing and speaking, and has been consistently associated with reduced oral health\u2010related quality of life (OHRQoL). Despite its clinical relevance, no previous studies have evaluated the impact of xerostomia on OHRQoL in Chilean older adults living in LTCFs\u2014a population characterized by high levels of frailty, polypharmacy and poor oral health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To describe the association between xerostomia and oral health\u2010related quality of life among older adults living in LTCFs in Chile.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We conducted a cross\u2010sectional study in 11 LTCFs in Santiago, Chile, including 102 adults aged 60 and over. Xerostomia was assessed using the Spanish version of the Xerostomia Inventory (XI) and OHRQoL was measured using the validated OHIP\u201014Sp questionnaire. Clinical oral health status was evaluated following WHO criteria, including DMFT index, prosthesis use and occlusal support (Eichner Index). Linear regression and negative binomial models were used to assess the association between xerostomia and OHRQoL, adjusting for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Xerostomia was reported by 55.9% of participants and was significantly more common in women than in men (70% vs. 38%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.043).
