“…In Japan, the rate of aging exceeded 21% in the year 2007, which is the fastest rate of aging in the world, and the proportion of the elderly continues to increase in this super-aged society [1]. Consequently, the relationship between oral health and general health has been discussed by previous studies , with the extension of healthy life expectancy and the reduction of health disparities as the fundamental objectives [2][3][4][5]. Oral health is important for maintaining the pleasure of eating and speaking and it greatly contributes to the improvement of the quality of life.…”

Purpose:The purpose of the present study was to explore the factors related to oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in elderly patients who underwent prosthetic treatment with removable dentures through several objective and subjective examinations and to analyze their interrelationships. Methods: The current study involved 78 denture wearers, aged 65 years or above, who underwent treatment at the clinic of prosthodontics and undertook routine checkups. The present study used eight age-matched patients with healthy dentition as controls. The following items were evaluated: OHRQoL (Oral Health Impact Profile), main occluding area, maximal occlusal force, masticatory performance, and masticatory ability. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlation between the OHIP score and each item and multiple linear regression analysis with the backward elimination method was used to analyze the factors affecting the OHIP score (α = 0.05). Results: The OHIP summary score was significantly correlated with the number of occlusal supports, number of remaining teeth, maximal occlusal force, and the masticatory ability score. The multiple regression analysis revealed that the number of occlusal supports, the number of remaining upper teeth, whether the upper main occluding area was the remaining tooth or not, and the masticatory ability score were the significant independent variables that affected the OHIP summary scores. Conclusions: The present study verified the relationship between the OHRQoL and the occlusion of remaining teeth or the items derived from the main occluding areas. The current results suggest that retaining the maxillary first molar is a key factor in the OHRQoL.

“…Our previous study revealed that the physical pre-frailty status of participants was significantly associated with masticatory performance [ 23 ]. Furthermore, Hironaka et al revealed that masticatory ability was associated with diet variety [ 25 ]. Consequently, an increase in weight and BMI after intervention might be considered the result of an improvement in oral function.…”

The Impact of Nutrition and Oral Function Exercise on among Community-Dwelling Older People

et al. 2023

Oral function (OF) decline in older people is associated with nutritional deficiencies, which increases frailty risk and the need for nursing care. We investigated whether the delivery of an oral function improvement program on a tablet device was as effective as delivery through a paper-based program. We also investigated the association between tongue pressure (TP) improvement and nutritional status at the baseline. The participants involved in the study were 26 community-dwelling older people with low TP, <30 kPa, aged ≥65 years, who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial for a month in Itoshima City, Fukuoka, Japan. Oral and physical functions and body composition were measured at the baseline and at follow-up. Two-way analysis of variance revealed that body mass index (p = 0.004) increased, and maximum masticatory performance (p = 0.010), maximum TP (p = 0.035), and oral diadochokinesis /pa/ and /ka/ (p = 0.009 and 0.017, respectively) improved in a month. Participants with higher TP improvement showed an increased intake of animal proteins at the baseline: fish (p = 0.022), meat (p = 0.029), and egg (p = 0.009). OF exercises for improving TP were associated with higher animal protein intake at the baseline. This study has been registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN 000050292).

Social capital aspects are playing an important role in activities of daily living (ADL) performance, thus on independent living. This paper was aimed to present an overview of the associations and adverse effects between social capital aspects and disability in ADL and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in an older population aged 65 years old and over. Α scoping review was designed following the guidelines of PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) and the review was conducted by 3 authors. A total of 185 primary studies were extracted and, finally, 40 studies did meet the inclusion criteria and critically appraised in two main categories; Category 1(29 studies) ‘ social capital and disability in ADL ’ deducing that as greater a social capital as better ADL performance and Category 2 (11 studies) ‘ Social capital and HRQoL ’ concluding that people 65 years old and over with lower social capital were presented with a poor HRQoL. Study synthesis highlights the impact of social capital suggesting that nurses caring for older people must focus on their engagement in terms of social diversity and trust in the community.
