The impact of oral and general health on individuals can be comprehensively captured by the concepts oral and general health-related quality of life (OHRQoL and HRQoL), respectively. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize existing evidence on the correlation between OHRQoL and HRQoL across different adult populations. METHODS: A comprehensive search strategy was executed across 6 databases (Ovid MEDLINE(R), Embase, CINAHL, APA PsycINFO, Web of Science Core Collection, and Scopus). The search included studies measuring OHRQoL with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and HRQoL with a variety of generic patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Studies were included if they reported correlations between OHRQoL and HRQoL summary scores in adult populations across dental, medical, or nonpatient settings. If a study examined more than one population, each correlation was included for independent analysis. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted by independent reviewers, with disagreements resolved by a third reviewer. Random effects meta-analysis was used to summarize the OHRQoL-HRQoL correlations. RESULTS: =95%). Results were not unduly influenced by individual populations, study quality, or publication bias. CONCLUSIONS: The correlation between oral health and general health is of medium size, highlighting the potential for medical-dental integration to enhance patient and community health outcomes.","journal":"Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice","year":2024,"id":437502,"datarank":0.0,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"self_citation_contribution":0.0,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.0,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":11,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9557,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":887063,"name":"Aparna Ingleshwar","orcid":"0000-0003-3098-1578","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1049452,"name":"Nicole Theis‐Mahon","orcid":"0000-0002-6913-5195","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":231965,"name":"Lifeng Lin","orcid":"0000-0002-3562-9816","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":321626,"name":"Mike T.
