“…These results were similar to other investigations that associated older age as a protective factor for TMD 19,22 . With regard to age, it is believed that older people tend to develop better resilience in SS, adapting to the changes resulting from aging 5,41 . Moreover, in the course of the aging process, the elderly, for the most part, tend to conform to the deterioration of their health and, therefore, believe that oral problems are an unavoidable consequence of aging 4,42 .…”

“…In this sense, the World Health Organization (WHO) 1 estimate that Brazil will have the sixth largest population of old people in a short period. Therefore, it is fundamental to observe the peculiarities inherent in this life cycle 2 , since they effectively represent a great socioeconomic impact for the country and a challenge for the managers of public policies [3][4][5] . With the advancement of the aging process, morphophysiological changes occur in the body more rapidly, which increases the predisposition to diseases.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction symptoms and the associated factors in the elderly of a city in southern Brazil. METHODS: A cross-sectional observational study performed in residential homes, with probabilistic cluster sample, interviewed and examined 287 seniors aged from 65 to 74 years in the city of Cruz Alta, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The Fonseca Anamnestic Index was used for temporomandibular dysfunction analysis, as well as a structured questionnaire for socioeconomic conditions and an oral health clinical examination. Either Chisquare or Mann-Whitney tests assessed associations between the dependent and independent variables and presented by frequency distribution. Uni-and multivariate analyses were performed to verify the association between temporomandibular dysfunction risk and explanatory variables. For all statistical analyses, a 5% significance level was adopted. RESULTS: The prevalence of temporomandibular dysfunction symptoms was 55.1%. In the final multivariate model, age ≥70 years (RP=0.674; 95% CI: 0.516-0.881) showed as a protection factor against temporomandibular dysfunction, and the average of tooth loss (RP=1.022; 95% CI: 1.004-1.039) showed as a risk factor for temporomandibular dysfunction in relation to their respective controls.

“…Ideally, the analysis should be stratified by age group and sex, considering that these variables are not true confounders on the association between Indigeneity and oral health conditions. However, the studied oral health outcomes are strongly influenced by age and sex . Hence, the most appropriate way to acknowledge the potential influence that age and sex might have on the association between Indigeneity and oral health is to include these conditions in the adjusted models.…”

Objectives:Oral health plays an important role in the general well-being of older adults, yet older adults experience unique barriers to dental care. In the United States, almost two-thirds of older adults are dentally uninsured -a reflection of the exclusion of dental benefits from Medicare. The aim of this study was to investigate potential predictors of having a dentist among older adults receiving services funded through the Iowa Department on Aging (IDA).Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis on a convenience sample (n = 2692) of adults age 65+ who completed a required survey to determine eligibility to receive services from the IDA. Data from questionnaires completed between March and December 2017 were used to generate multivariable logistic regression models that identified predictors of having a dentist. The dependent variable, having a dentist, was gathered by self-report in the survey. Explanatory variables eligible for inclusion in the models included demographic and geographic factors, indicators of access to dental care, and factors related to activities of daily living. Results:Fewer than half (46.2%) of the respondents reported having a dentist. In the final regression model, individuals with dental insurance were more than twice as likely to have a dentist than those without insurance. Conversely, individuals with a tooth/mouth problem and who need help with housekeeping and with transportation were significantly less likely to have a dentist than their counterparts. Conclusions:These results align with known insurance-related barriers and identify certain activities of daily living that might influence older adults' ability to access care. The finding that individuals with oral health problems were less likely to have a dentist underscores the need to reduce barriers to care for this population.
