Objective To describe the oral health of older people by region and family status using data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey. Background As the ageing of Korean society intensifies, health inequalities based on region and family status are also deepening. Methods Data from the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (2020–2021) conducted by the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were used, and a total of 3437 older people aged 65 or older were selected as study participants. Chewing discomfort and oral health behaviours were assessed by region and family status using multivariable logistic regression analysis with the complex sample survey design. Results We found an association between living alone and greater chewing discomfort. Residing in rural areas was also associated with a higher prevalence of this. In urban areas, chewing discomfort was 1.27 times higher among older people living alone than in those not living alone, while in rural areas, the discomfort was 1.52 times higher among the older people who lived alone. Conclusions Region and family status were associated with greater chewing discomfort in older people. In Korean society, where the number of single‐person older people households is increasing, along with the ageing population, attention to resolving the disparities in oral health in older people is needed.
