Validation of the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index in Finland: A Questionnaire Study
The Finnish version of the GOHAI showed good reliability and moderate validity among older people who had sought oral health care. However, the study design, including its cross-sectional nature, reliance on a convenience sample, and the absence of clinical examinations, limits the generalizability of the findings to all older adults in Finland.
