Results: There were significant differences in oral health status according to sex(t=-2.42, p=.034), grade(F=4.30, p=.006), snack intake(t=-2.51, p=.013), smoking(t=2.41, p=.017), and disease(t=2.49, p=.014), and oral health behavior was significantly different according to major(t=3.04, p=.003), smoking(t=-3.76, p<.001), and last oral health education period(F=9.10, p<.001). As a result of multiple regression analysis, oral health status was found to be a significant related factor in oral health-related quality of life(β=.409, p<.001).
