Medical disease morbidity of dental outpatients (990 subjects : 374 male, 616 female ; average 40.6 years old.) in Kyushu Dental College Hospital was surveyed by taking a questionnaire. Nearly 30 percent of dental outpatients was suffering from medical diseases, and 47.9 percent had been suffering previously. Anesthesiologists treated the oldest subjects, among dental patients, who had many medical diseases. Aging markedly increased the morbidity rate of medical diseases, which reached about 70 percent in subjects older than 70 years. Hypertension was the most frequent medical diseases as either present or past complications in dental patients. Angina pectoris, liver disease, gastroduodenal ulcer, and arrhythmia were also medical complications, from which dental patients were frequently suffering. The morbidity rate of hypertension, angina pectoris and diabetes mellitus was gradually increased by aging, but that of gastroduodenal ulcer, renal disease and arrhythmia was not clearly elevated. In conclusion, medical disease morbidity rate in dental outpatients was increased by aging, as is the case in dental inpatients.
