“…The methodology of the cohort study has been described in detail previously (baseline, sample size calculation, follow-up and measures used) and is available in the literature. 19 Data collection included standardised interviews for the identification of the sociodemographic, behavioural and general health variables. The sociodemographic and behavioural data were as follows: age (in years), sex (male, female), education (years of study), marital status (married, single), individual monthly income (in Brazilian Reais), smoking behaviour (smoking at least 100 cigarettes in life yes/no), consumption of alcoholic beverages (yes/no) and frequency of visits to the dentist (regularly/occasionally/never).…”

Objective This study aimed to investigate characteristics associated with xerostomia and hyposalivation in older persons. Background Saliva is one of the most important body fluids and plays an important role in food bolus formation, lubricating the oral mucosa and protecting teeth against demineralisation. Materials and methods This is a cross‐sectional study nested within a cohort and includes a sample of 872 older persons living independently in the community, both in rural and urban areas in Carlos Barbosa, Brazil. Data collection included standardised interviews to identify sociodemographic, behavioural and health‐related variables, as well as oral clinical examination performed by two trained/calibrated dentists. Poisson regressions with robust variance were used to calculate the crude and adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) and their respective 95% confidence intervals. Results The mean age was 68.5 ± 6.7 years, and the majority of the sample consisted of women (65.3%). The prevalence of xerostomia, of low stimulated salivary flow rate and low at rest salivary flow rate were 338 (38.8%), 494 (56.6%), 320 (36.7%), respectively. In the final adjusted model, women had a significantly increased prevalence of xerostomia (PR = 1.34; 95% CI: 1.12‐1.61), as well as participants taking medication continuously (PR = 1.45; 95% CI: 1.16‐1.82) and those with depressive symptoms (PR = 1.49; 95% CI: 1.27‐1.76). Lower at rest (PR = 1.45, 95% CI: 1.22‐1.72) and lower stimulated salivary flow were more prevalent in women (PR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.11‐1.44), while lower stimulated salivary flow was more prevalent in older persons taking medication continuously (PR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.07‐1.43). Conclusion Salivary hypofunction and xerostomia were more prevalent in women and in those with continuous medication use; however, depressive symptoms were associated only with xerostomia. Measures are required to promote oral comfort in cases of xerostomia, thereby reducing the unpleasant sensation of dry mouth and hyposalivation consequences in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for tooth loss after 8 years among community‐dwelling older adults in a southern Brazilian city. Methods In 2004, 388 dentate community‐dwelling older adults from Carlos Barbosa, southern Brazil, were selected using simple random sampling. In 2012, the follow‐up consisted of 199 (51.3%) participants. Data collection comprised an interview with data about socio‐demographic, behavioural and access to services and an oral examination. The outcome variable of this study is the ratio between the sum of the teeth lost during the 8‐year period of follow‐up, and the sum of the teeth present in 2004, per person, modelled through binomial regression analysis. Results Being older (IOR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.00–1.06), living in a rural area (IOR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.17–2.07), earning two or more monthly minimum wages (IOR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.09–1.96), living alone (single, widowed or divorced; IOR = 1.36, 95% CI: 1.00–1.85), having more gingival bleeding sites (IOR = 1.01, 95% CI: 1.00–1.02) and wearing partial removable prosthesis (IOR = 2.82, 95% CI: 2.15–3.71) were risk factors for tooth loss. Approximately 48% of the participants lost one or more teeth over the 8‐year follow‐up period. Conclusion Socio‐demographic, economic and clinical variables were associated with the risk for tooth loss. This might be a result of social determinants of health influencing people’s access to oral health care, oral health behaviours and oral health status. Public policy aimed at older adults living in rural areas, living alone and using removable dentures may contribute to reducing the risk of tooth loss.
