Xerostomia (dry
mouth) is a common condition that has primarily been studied among older adults
and populations at high risk of dry mouth. This dataset focuses on developing a
brief xerostomia assessment tool specifically designed for young adults. Data were
collected between January and June 2025 with a cross-sectional survey from
students ages 18-25 at two California (USA) public universities (N=285),
including oral health behaviors and outcomes, one single global item of dry
mouth, 14-item xerostomia inventory, overall health, medication use, 10-item
Perceived Stress Scale, tobacco and substance use, sleep, height, weight, BMI,
and demographic variables (race/ethnicity, age, and gender). The 14-item
inventory was reduced to 5 items to measure xerostomia among young adults.
Psychometric properties of the 5 items were examined. Associations were
explored between inventory sum scores and other oral health conditions and
potential xerostomia risk factors.<br><br><b>Project Citation:</b>
