Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan status kesehatan gigi dan mulut serta kemampuan mastikasi self-assessed terhadap kualitas hidup lansia independen di beberapa wilayah DKI Jakarta. Metode: Desain studi cross-sectional dilakukan pada 177 subjek yang berusia 60 tahun atau lebih. Standar pemeriksaan klinis WHO, kemampuan mastikasi self-assessed, dan wawancara kuesioner GOHAI versi Bahasa Indonesia dilakukan pada seluruh subjek. Hasil: Dari 177 subjek, 89,3 subjek perempuan dan 10,7 subjek laki-laki dengan rata-rata usia 66,3 tahun. Rata-rata skor kuesioner GOHAI adalah 48,5. Uji korelasi Spearman digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara status kesehatan gigi dan mulut serta kemampuan mastikasi self-assessed dengan kuesioner GOHAI. Kemampuan mastikasi self-assessed dan jumlah gigi asli memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan total skor GOHAI r=0,63; r=0,37. Jumlah gigi sehat memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan total skor GOHAI r=0,36. Gigi berlubang DT memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan penggunaan obat untuk pereda nyeri r=0,18. Gigi yang ditambal FT memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan kenyamanan saat makan r=0,18. Status gigi tiruan memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan total skor GOHAI r=0,36. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara status kesehatan gigi dan mulut serta kemampuan mastikasi self-assessed terhadap kualitas hidup lansia di beberapa wilayah DKI Jakarta.
