“…Many elderlies with mobility impairment might be difficult to go to grocery stores, prepare and cooking by their own. So, family support as their caregiver plays an important role to ensure the elderly have an adequate intake (Kim & Jin, 2018). In this study, majority of subjects (76.76%) did not go to grocery, prepare, and cooking by their own.…”

The elderly usually accompanied by many impairments due to decline in organ functioning which have a great impact on their daily intake and leads to anemia. Many elderlies also have mobility impairment which make them become more dependent and need supports from their family. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship of family support, the daily intake of protein, iron, vitamin C with hemoglobin levels in elderly. This observational analytic study with cross-sectional design was performed in 185 elderlies aged 60-79 years determined using the OpenEpi program. Subjects collected by simple random sampling from chosen Posyandu in Klaten and Sragen districts. The data on daily intake and family support in fulﬁlling healthy nutritious foods were collected by using a 2x24-hour food recall form and a modiﬁed questionnaire from Hanim’s study. Hemoglobin levels were measured from venous blood using Cyanmethhemoglobin method. The data were analyzed using the Pearson test and Multiple Linear Regression test. The prevalence of mild anemia was found in 10.27% women and 5.41% men. Family support (b=0.09, 95%CI:0.003- 0.18), protein intake (b=0.41, 95%CI:0.25-0.57), iron intake (b=0.19, 95%CI:0.96-0.29), vitamin C intake (b=0.10, 95%CI:0.02-0.41) were signiﬁcantly associated with hemoglobin levels (p<0.05). To conclude, suﬃcient family support, adequate intake of protein, iron and vitamin C are associated to higher hemoglobin levels.

“…However, some studies have suggested that living alone affects both the physical and mental health. (20)(21)(22)(23) Holt-Lunstad et al (22) have reported that living alone is one of the risk factors for mortality. Hanna et al (21) have suggested that the persons who live alone have a lower diversity of food intake; lower consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fish; and a higher likelihood of having an unhealthy dietary pattern than those who do not live alone.…”

It has been reported that oral health is associated with some co-morbid conditions, including cardiovascular disease, in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present study investigated the association between the frequency of toothbrushing and lifestyle in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This cross-sectional study included 624 outpatients at the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in Kyoto, Japan from January 2014 to January 2016. Lifestyle was evaluated using a self-administered questionnaire. The average age and hemoglobin A1c level were 67.6 ± 10.9 years and 7.2 ± 1.1%, respectively. The number of patients who brushed their teeth twice or more a day was 189 (50.3%) in men and 198 (79.8%) in women. Among men, the proportion of patients living alone was lower in those who brushed their teeth twice or more a day than those who brushed their teeth never/rarely or once a day. The logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for confounding factors, revealed that living alone (odds ratio 2.88; 95% confidence interval 1.53-5.66) was associated with the increased odds of the low frequency of toothbrushing (never/ rarely or once a day) in men, but not in women. In conclusion, the results of our study suggest that living alone was associated with the low frequency of toothbrushing in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in men.

“…Compared to people living with another adult, people living alone often lack informal care. Studies have also shown that people who live alone have poorer perceived oral health 35 and higher risk for depression 36,37 . Another study on the SveDem population showed that people with AD who lived alone were more likely to use antidepressants 38 .…”

Discontinued dental care attendance among people with dementia: A register‐based longitudinal study

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Objective To investigate the factors that increase the risk of discontinuing dental care utilisation after dementia is diagnosed in a population in Stockholm County, Sweden. Background As the progression of dementia results in a deteriorating ability to maintain good oral health, it is important to identify people at risk of discontinued dental care after being diagnosed with dementia. Materials and Methods This study is a register‐based longitudinal study. Data were extracted from the Swedish Dementia Registry (SveDem), the Swedish National Patient Register, the Dental Health Register and the Municipal Dental Care Register (Stockholm County Council). The data included people using both general public dental services and care‐dependent individuals. Dental visits three years before and after dementia had been diagnosed were analysed. Results In total, 10 444 people were included in the analysis, of which 19% did not have dental visits recorded after they were diagnosed with dementia. A logistic regression model, adjusted for relevant factors, showed that the factors associated with a greater risk for discontinued dental attendance were fewer remaining teeth (OR = 0.96, 95% CI = 0.95, 0.97) and living alone compared to living with another adult (OR = 1.23, 95% CI = 1.05, 1.43). People with Parkinson's disease dementia had a lower risk (OR = 0.40, 95% CI = 0.19, 0.84) than people with Alzheimer's disease. Conclusion Patients, dental and healthcare personnel, and family members should all be aware of these risk factors so that appropriate support and oral care for people with dementia can be delivered.
