“…Voice and swallowing alterations have a daily impact on interaction with family and friends, quality of life, participation in society, and difficulty taking medications, which may affect compliance. Furthermore, swallowing difficulties can lead to weight loss, nutritional deficits, and an elevated risk of pneumonia . These difficulties may be exaggerated in older adults and in turn can increase the risk of becoming more frail.…”

Chewing xylitol gum provides oral health benefits including inhibiting Streptococcus mutans plaque. It is thought to be especially effective in conditions where it is difficult to perform daily oral cleaning. Our study aim was to determine the effects of chewing xylitol gum on self-rated and objective oral health status under a condition interfering with oral hygiene maintenance. A randomized controlled intervention trial was conducted on 55 healthy ≥ 20-year-old men recruited from the Japan Ground Self Defense Force who were undergoing field training. Participants were randomly assigned to a test group (chewing gum; n = 27) or a control group (no gum; n = 28) and the researchers were blinded to the group assignments. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores of oral conditions subjectively evaluated oral health, and the stimulated salivary bacteria quantity objectively evaluated oral health 1 day before field training (baseline) and 4 days after the beginning of field training (follow-up). VAS scores of all three oral conditions significantly increased in the control group (malodor: p < 0.001; discomfort: p < 0.001; dryness: p < 0.001), but only two VAS scores increased in the test group (malodor: p = 0.021; discomfort: p = 0.002). The number of salivary total bacteria significantly increased in the control group (p < 0.01), while no significant change was observed in the test group (p = 0.668). Chewing xylitol gum positively affects self-rated and objective oral health status by controlling oral hygiene under conditions that interfere with oral hygiene maintenance.

“…Nevertheless, the percentage of the participants with a DRACE score of ≥5 was as high as 43.4%, indicating a risk of dysphagia and signifying a potentially major issue from the perspective of elderly care. By comparison, in a previous investigation of community‐dwelling independent elderly persons, only 27.4% had a score of ≥5 (Takeuchi et al , ).…”

Nutritional status and dysphagia risk among community-dwelling frail older adults

Abstract: Malnutrition is highly prevalent among community-dwelling frail older adults, and dysphagia risk is independently associated with malnutrition. Dysphagia may be an important predictor of malnutrition progression in aged populations.
