Objective: Low health literacy predicts poor health, but the underpinnings of the associations are yet to be understood. This study tested the associations between health literacy and three objective health outcomes in older people and investigated the extent to which general (not health-related) cognition and earlier life-course factors such as childhood cognitive ability, educational level and occupational class accounted for these associations. Methods: Participants were 730 community-dwelling older people (350 women; mean age 72.50 years, SD = 0.71). Physical fitness (defined by walk time, lung function, and grip strength), body mass index, and count of natural teeth were used as health outcomes. Rapid Estimate of Adult Literacy in Medicine (REALM), Shortened Test of Functional HealthLiteracy in Adults (S-TOFHLA), and Newest Vital Sign (NVS) were used to measure health literacy.Age-11 and concurrent general cognitive ability, educational level, and occupational social class were used as co-variates. Results: Lower REALM, S-TOFHLA and NVS scores were associated with worse scores on all health outcomes (β = .09 to .17). However, cognitive ability in old age and childhood, educational and occupational levels accounted for the majority of these associations: after adjusting for these co-variates, only physical fitness was significantly associated with REALM and S-TOFHLA (β = .06 and .11). Conclusions: Low health literacy was associated with poorer health largely because it reflected general cognitive ability, educational and/or occupational levels. These variables plays some role in health beyond their association with the reading and numeracy skills captured by common health literacy measures.

“…Ces résultats sont en accord avec les données de la littérature qui montre une association forte entre le nombre de dents extraites et la survenue d'un AVCI [15][16][17]42,43]. Comme le suggère l'étude de Pihlstrom et al [2], ces résultats s'expliquent par le fait que la perte dentaire est en majorité imputable à la maladie parodontale : elle peut donc être considérée comme l'évolution terminale d'un état inflammatoire.…”

Plusieurs études récentes cas-témoins [9][10][11][12], études de cohortes [13][14][15][16][17][18][19], études longitudinales et transversales [20,21] ont permis d'établir un lien bien documenté entre la survenue des AVCI et les parodontites.…”

Résumé -Objectif : L'inflammation buccale pourrait constituer un facteur de risque des accidents vasculaires cérébraux d'origine ischémique (AVCI).Abstract -Oral inflammation and occurrence of non-fatal ischemic strokes. Objective: Oral inflammation has been described as a presumed risk factor of stroke with ischemic origin. The objective of this study was to investigate the link between oral inflammation, occurrence of non-fatal ischemic strokes without motor or cognitive sequelae (NIH < 1 and Rankin < 1) and pro-atherosclerotic biomarkers. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study of 48 cases of ischemic stroke and 47 control patients was conducted at the University Hospital of Dijon. A clinical dental examination and dental panoramic were performed one month after the ischemic stroke. Biological data collected on the day of the ischemic stroke (C-reactive protein or CRP, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, glucose) were analyzed. The vascular risk factors were identified. We estimated the odds Med Buccale Chir Buccale 2013;19:211-220

“…To date, 4 known studies have reported the associations between tooth loss and risk of cancer death (Abnet et al, 2005;Cabrera et al, 2005;Tu et al, 2007;Michaud et al, 2008). When reviewing those articles, it is important to note carefully whether the outcomes investigated were morbidity or mortality, as the former 3 studies were based on mortality, while the most recent was based on the incidence of cancer, or morbidity.…”
