“…Previous studies suggested the effects of the use of dentures on the body position and walking speed in older people, 16) its relationships with occlusal force, balance function, and mobility, 17) and its strong relationship with static balance including the head support and balance function. 18) The results of this study also suggest that occlusal force maintained by the use of well-fitting dentures improves the body position and balance, which contribute to the independence of mobility, and indicate the relationship between the "tooth condition" and mobility.…”

The world continues to struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic, and there is concern over the increase in the needs of older people for nursing care. In this study, the relationships of the "tooth condition" with mobility and cognitive function were investigated in 1,000 residents of 14 special elderly nursing homes. In those using well-fitting dentures, the percentage of those capable of independent indoor mobility was highest at 21.6%, and the percentages of those able to communicate (66.2%), understand routines (47.5%), state their own age (36.2%), remember recent events (45.0%), state their own name (85.7%), understand seasons (43.7%), and understand places (46.4%) were significantly higher than in those in other "tooth conditions". This study clarified the relationships of the "tooth condition" with mobility and cognitive function, and maintaining an adequate "tooth condition" was suggested to contribute to the prevention of a condition requiring long-term nursing care.

“…The relationship between occlusal force and physical function has been reported in several previous studies, and reports on older adults have shown that occlusal force is related to other objective physical abilities such as walking speed, muscle strength, balance function, and falls [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Matake et al examined whether there were differences in occlusal force depending on the presence or absence and frequency of physical exercise experience in 207 healthy adults and found that the group with more physical exercise experience showed significantly higher occlusal force than the others, indicating that physical exercise experience clearly influences differences in occlusal force [ 27 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of walking training “Interval Walking Training (IWT)” on oral health status. Participants were divided into two groups: an exercise intervention group and a non-intervention group (control). The intervention group consisted of 59 subjects (20 males, 39 females) aged 50 years or older who participated in the IWT program in Matsumoto from 2019 to April 2022. The control group consisted of 33 subjects (14 males and 19 females) aged 50 years or older who have visited Niigata University Medical and Dental Hospital and agreed to participate in the study. The intervention group underwent walking training (interval walking training) for at least 5–6 months. The walking training consisted of five sets of fast walking above 70% peak aerobic capacity for walking (VO2peak) for 3 min, followed by 3 min of slow walking at ~40% VO2 peak per day for more than four days/week. The oral health status was evaluated for the number of teeth, occlusal force, salivary occult blood, masticatory performance, and tongue pressure. A total of 57 participants were analyzed in the intervention group (18 males and 39 females, age: 66.7 ± 0.8 (mean ± S.E.) years) and 33 participants in the control group (14 males and 19 females, age: 74.5 ± 1.1 (mean ± S.E.) years). There were no significant differences in gender, salivary occult blood, tongue pressure, masticatory performance, or occlusal force between the two groups at the start of the intervention (p = 0.36, p = 0.48, p = 0.42, p = 0.58, and p = 0.08, respectively by unpaired t-test or χ2 test). On the other hand, there were significant differences in age and BMI, with a trend toward lower age and higher BMI in the intervention group (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively, by unpaired t-test). In terms of rate of change, the intervention group showed a significant increase in occlusal force (F = 4.5, p = 0.04, ANCOVA) and a significant decrease in BMI (F = 7.3, p = 0.009, ANCOVA). No significant differences were observed in the other measured items. It was found that walking training in both middle-aged and older people does not only affect the physical aspect of weight loss but may help maintain and improve the occlusal force.

“…In addition, it is a further feature that the study was conducted with healthy participants and with sufficient participants (N = 464 men and women), previous studies that limited the target population to females [ 6 ], frail elderly [ 7 ], or with a small number of participants [ 8 ].…”

“…Decline of oral function cause a decrease in appetite and food intake, which are factors in the frailty cycle [ 4 ]. Although the several studies examined the association between oral and physical function in relation to frailty [ [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] ], those studies had limitations due to self-reported oral status, small sample size, and the limited populations, ie, aging people using day services.…”
