“…The fact that many people in this study reported good OHRQoL may be because older people are more likely to consider minor or even severe oral health problems as less disturbing at this point in their lives because of other general health problems, and therefore express greater satisfaction with their oral health . Another explanation might be that 43% of the older people had as many as 20‐32 remaining teeth, a recent study found association between few remaining teeth and poor OHRQoL . The most frequently experienced oral problems associated with OHRQoL were painful aching in the mouth and discomfort when eating; this result is consistent with previous findings in a Norwegian study of people aged 68‐77 years …”

“…Many factors may affect older people's OHRQoL. Previous research has shown poorer OHRQoL among people with poor self‐rated health, people dependent on support in their ADL, people with missing teeth, caries and periodontal disease, and poor self‐rated oral health . However, these relationships have not been established for older people in short‐term care.…”

Objectives It is well known that oral health status is associated with oral health‐related quality of life (OHRQoL) in the general population. The aim of this study was to describe and analyse OHRQoL among older people in short‐term care and its associated factors. Materials and Methods This cross‐sectional study included 391 older people in 36 short‐term care units. Data were collected via clinical oral assessments, questions about self‐perceived oral and general health, Katz Index of Activities of Daily Living (Katz‐ADL) and the Revised Oral Assessment Guide (ROAG). OHRQoL was measured using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP‐14). Multivariate logistic regression models were applied in the analysis. Results Poor OHRQoL was reported by 34% of the older people. Associated factors were swallowing problems according to ROAG; quite poor/poor self‐perceived physical, psychological and oral health; and being a woman. Conclusions There is an association between OHRQoL and older people's self‐perceived health according to the OHIP‐14. This indicates the importance of early detection of oral health problems in frail older people and to assess both oral health and swallowing problems among older people in short‐term care.

“…Importantly, periodontal disease has been associated with systemic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome) [19,20]. In addition, several studies have shown that periodontitis is involved in poor oral health-related quality of life [21][22][23]. Periodontitis and tooth loss may be associated with changes in cognitive function among older adults [21].…”

The aim of this study was to clarify the association between oral Candida detection and the dependency status of older people. This study included 31 older people aged ≥70 years who had a certified need for long-term care or support and received care in a local day care center; it also included 27 independent older patients aged ≥70 years who visited Hiroshima University Hospital. Oral Candida was detected by a polymerase chain reaction using swab samples from the tongue surface. Oral moisture was significantly reduced in dependent older people, compared with independent older people (p = 0.003). There was a weak negative relationship between numbers of bacteria and levels of oral moisture (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient; R = −0.29, p = 0.01). Dependent older people exhibited a significantly higher rate of Candida albicans detection (35.5%) compared with independent older people (11.1%). Dependent older people also exhibited a higher rate of concurrent detection of both C. albicans and Candida glabrata (32.3%) compared with independent older people (11.1%), but this difference was not statistically significant. Thus, dependent older people may be more susceptible to oral C. albicans infection, compared with independent older people. Good oral hygiene is necessary to prevent oral Candida infection in dependent older people.

“…(Horowitz & Kleinman, ; Naghibi Sistani, Virtanen, Yazdani, & Murtomaa, ). Health, QOL, oral health conditions, and oral self‐care behavior are all interrelated, but there are various factors that could be explained by models such as IBM that potentially determine whether daily oral self‐care can be correctly implemented (Dumitrescu et al, ; Kato, Abrahamsson, Wide, & Hakeberg, ; Wang et al, ).…”

Objectives: This study evaluated the Integrated Behavioral Model and examined oral self-care behavior of community-dwelling middle-aged and older people. Design: A cross-sectional design was used. Sample: Purposive sampling was employed to recruit middle and older age community-dwelling individuals, with research locations in public health centers in northern Taiwan. Measurements: Structured questionnaires comprised: participant demographics, oral health literacy, oral self-care attitude, self-efficacy, intention, and behavior, and significant others' perceptions and beliefs as well as environmental constraints. The Model verification was evaluated by path analysis. Results: Two hundred and sixty-three participants (N = 263) completed the questionnaire survey. Results identified significant direct effects of the independent variables of oral health care literacy, intention of oral self-care, and perception of environmental constraints on the dependent variable of oral self-care behavior; and significant indirect effects on attitude of oral self-care, perception of significant other beliefs, self-efficacy of oral self-care. Conclusion: Public health nurses work with the whole community and can potentially improve the oral self-care behavior of middle-aged and older adults by enhancing their oral health knowledge, maintaining their positive attitudes, assisting acceptance of recognition and support from others, increasing their ability to perform oral selfcare, reducing environmental constraints, and thereby enhancing their oral self-care awareness.

Periodontal disease among older people and its impact on oral health‐related quality of life

Abstract: Periodontitis did not show an association with poor OHRQL, however, a significant association between the number of teeth and poor OHRQL was found.
