“…A reduction in handgrip strength and manual dexterity were found to be independent risk factors for the accumulation of dental plaque in older people. 46 Since the study by Shin et al used a different method in revealing dental biofilm, 46 the results are not comparable to this study. Yun and Lee (2000) reported an association of handgrip strength with the utilization of complete dentures and a low number of remaining teeth in older men.…”

BackgroundDue to the heterogeneity of older people, it is difficult to identify reliable factors influencing oral health.ObjectiveThe aim was to illustrate the influence of visual acuity, manual dexterity, and handgrip strength on the oral and denture hygiene ability of older non‐frail people.MethodsIn a cross‐sectional study, conducted at a specialized dental clinic, at baseline, all participants received professional prophylaxis and instruction on daily oral and denture hygiene regimes for a 6‐week intervention period. Data on the Quigley and Hein modified plaque index (QHI), respectively, the Denture Hygiene Index (DHI), visual acuity, manual dexterity and handgrip strength in non‐frail participants (≥ 65 years) were collected. Recruitment was done within the clinic's patient clientele and within the staff (control cohort).ResultsWomen showed significantly better manual dexterity than men (Mann–Whitney U, p = .01), while women's mean handgrip strength was significantly lower (Mann–Whitney U, p < .01). Manual dexterity (Mann–Whitney U, p = .003) and handgrip strength (Mann–Whitney U, p = .052) were associated with age. However, visual acuity, manual dexterity and handgrip strength had no influence on oral or denture hygiene.ConclusionVisual acuity, manual dexterity and handgrip strength have no influence on oral and denture hygiene ability in older non‐frail people. Further studies should investigate whether these factors also have no influence on oral and denture hygiene in vulnerable older patients. Therefore, an assessment tool for the evaluation of potential influencing factors of oral and denture hygiene is proposed in a dental context. This Gerostomatological Assessment Battery (G‐AB) can be used as a helpful tool to check the individual cognitive function and comprehension, dental therapy approaches and their individual adaption.

“…First, the subjects of this study were adults aged ≥60 years, the age group with the highest prevalence of chronic periodontitis in South Korea [ 25 ]. Moreover, this age group is more likely to have accumulated more pathogenic oral biofilm, a causative factor of periodontitis, on tooth surfaces than younger age groups [ 41 ]. In general, to revert to a healthy periodontal condition, removal of the biofilm must be prioritized using mechanical methods, such as scaling [ 42 ].…”

There have been contradictory reports on the effects of vitamin D in the prevention of periodontitis. We analyzed the association between vitamin D status (levels of plasma 25(OH)D) and periodontitis using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2013–2014 database. Among the participants in the KNHANES (2013–2014), only those aged ≥60 years who completed a health interview survey, periodontal examination, and blood test were included in the study. Thus, data from 701 participants were used in the final analysis. Periodontal status was evaluated using the Community Periodontal Index (CPI), and periodontitis was defined as having a CPI score of 3 or 4. Plasma 25(OH)D levels were classified according to two criteria: 20 ng/mL and quartile value. The chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the prevalence of periodontitis according to plasma 25(OH)D levels. Univariate analyses showed that periodontitis was not significantly associated with plasma 25(OH)D levels. In the multivariate logistic regression model adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, the difference in the prevalence of periodontitis between those with a normal range of 25(OH)D and those with low plasma of 25(OH)D levels was not statistically significant. Vitamin D intake has been reported to have benefits in maintaining periodontal health; however, total plasma 25(OH)D levels showed no significant association with periodontitis based on CPI scores in this study. Additionally, these findings reaffirmed the importance of toothbrushing and smoking cessation to prevent periodontitis in people aged ≥60 years.

“…Therefore, for further prevention of periodontitis, various systemic factors other than intraoral factors need to be considered. Hand function has been known to be associated with personal hygiene, especially oral health behaviors in older adults [ 11 , 13 , 31 , 32 ]. However, hand function, including in-hand manipulation skills and handgrip strength, peaks in the 30s and then declines continuously with age [ 18 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Thus, this study suggests that reduced handgrip strength can be a predictor of periodontitis in adults aged ≥30 years. Several previous studies, which included mostly elderly subjects, have reported the importance of hand function in the quality of oral care [ 11 , 32 ]. One study reported that older adults with decreased manual dexterity or handgrip strength had a higher accumulation of mature dental biofilm, a causative factor of oral diseases [ 32 ].…”

This study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2014–2015 database to analyze the association between periodontitis and handgrip strength, a representative measure of hand impairment and function, in adults aged ≥30 years. The data of 5926 adults (male: 2766, females: 3160) who underwent handgrip strength and periodontal tissue examination and had neither rheumatoid arthritis nor osteoarthritis were analyzed. Handgrip strength was assessed using a digital grip strength dynamometer. The average values of the right handgrip strength, calculated separately by sex and age group (five 10-year age groups), were used as the cut-off for reduced handgrip strength. Periodontal status was evaluated using the Community Periodontal Index, defining scores ≥ 3 as periodontitis. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to compare the differences in the prevalence of periodontitis according to handgrip strength. In the final regression model adjusted for risk factors for periodontitis, the likelihood of periodontitis decreased as the level of handgrip strength increased (p < 0.05). Therefore, this study suggests that handgrip strength may be a valuable indicator of periodontal health.
