강릉시 노인의 임상지표를 이용한 OHIP 14 (Oral Health Impact Profile 14)의 타당도 연구

Subjects of the research were 668 elderly people aged over 65 from Gangneung city. OHIP 14 went through a first translation from English to Korean, discussion among experts, a second translation from Korean to English, and then the translation was approved.
