Abstract：Objective:To study the effects of physical dysfunction on oral health behavior of patients with stroke.Method:207 participants were more than 60years with stroke more than half year,who were recruited from September 2016 to October 2017.The correlation of caries with physical dysfunction and oral health behavior was assessed by using oral health questionnaire and check table and analyzed by linear regression.Result:The rate of brushing tooth and frequency of visits and frequency of cleaning tooth in the non-physical dysfunction patients were obviously higher than the rate of patients with physical dysfunction.The caries rate of non-physical dysfunction patients was obviously lower than patients with physical dysfunction.The condition of oral health behavior with non-physical dysfunction was obviously better than patients with physical dysfunction.Physical dysfunction and oral health behavior both have an important effect on caries.The first one has the greatest impact.Conclusion:The physical dysfunction of the patients after stroke leads bad effects to the oral health behavior of the patients.To improve the living quality,we should focus on the oral health behavior of patients after stroke.
