Aim: To compare the performance of the GOHA l and the OHIP-14 as measures of the oral health-related quality of life of the elderly. Materials & Method: Across-sectional study was conducted on 250 elderly subjects attending Government Dental College & Research Institute, Bangalore. General information regarding the participant«SQ»s demographic profile, past and present medical history and GOHAI and the OHIP-14 were collected. Statistical analysis was done by using Mann-Whitney test. Spearman«SQ»s correlation was used to find the association between scores (p<0.001) Results: There was no significant association between GOHAI and OHIP-14 with respect to age, gender and medical problems (p>0.001). But there was a significant association between GOHAI and OHIP-14 for the domains-Functional limitation, Pain and discomfort, Psychological impacts and Behavioral impacts (p< 0.001). Significant association was seen among GOHAI­ Functional limitation, Pain and discomfort, Psychological impacts, and Behavioral impacts (p< 0.001). Among OHIP-14 Significant association was also seen for Functional limitation, Pain and discomfort, and Behavioral impacts (p< 0.001).
