Objectives: This study was to investigate the level of health risk behavior, athletes stress, quality of life(WHOQOL-
BREF) and oral health related quality of life(OHIP-14) and the clinical factors influencing quality of life in athletes
Methods: Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey of 202 university athletes. Data was obtained by
means of questionnaire from October 11 to October 15, 2010. Health risk behaviors(Q-F index and smoking), athletes
stress, WHOQOL-BREF and OHIP-14 were measured. The data was analysed with t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression using the SPSS program.
Results: The prevalence of alcohol drinking, smoking were 84.2% and 37.9%, respectively. Alcohol drinking and
cigarette consumption were not related to quality of life though there were the negative correlation between athletes
stress and quality of life. Powerful predictors of quality of life were athletes stress, OHIP-14 and perceived health for athletes.
Conslusions: Based on the findings, quality of life has a significantly impact on athletes stress, OHIP-14 and
