Oral impairments can affect overall health and life expectancy in older adults. Our study evaluates the life expectancy with negative physical oral health impact on quality of life (POHIQoL) among older adults. Life expectancy with negative POHIQoL was estimated by the Sullivan method, using the prevalence of POHIQoL - obtained in the Health, Well-being and Ageing (SABE Study); and official mortality data for adults aged 60 years or older living in São Paulo, Brazil. Between 2000 and 2010, negative POHIQoL increased from 23.4% (95%CI: 20.2-26.9) to 30.4% (95%CI: 27.0-34.3) among older adults; total life expectancy increased from 22 and 17.5 to 23.7 and 19.4 years among 60-year-old women and men, respectively; and the proportion of remaining years to be lived with negative POHIQoL increased from 25.1% to 32.1% for the same age group. In both years, individuals aged 60 years with lower education level were expected to live more years with negative POHIQoL when compared with the most schooled ones (2000: 15.9 [95%CI: 15.0-16.8] vs. 14.3 [95%CI: 13.7-14.8]; 2010: 16.3 [95%CI: 15.1-17.4] vs. 14.1 [95%CI: 13.2-15.1]). Similarly, women were expected to live more years with negative POHIQoL than men. Within ten years, life expectancy with negative POHIQoL increased, as well as the existence of inequalities in sex and education level among Brazilian older adults. Expansion in coverage and focus on equity in dental care are still necessary to overcome persistent dental-related problems and inequalities and, therefore, contribute to healthy ageing
