The aim of this scoping review was threefold: 1. to identify existing definitions oral frailty and similar terms in gerodontology literature; 2. assess the analyze whether these are well formulated on a conceptual level; 3. absence meeting criteria for good definitions, new definition will be presented. A search performed electronic databases internet engines. Studies explaining or defining were interest. software-aided procedure screen titles abstracts terms. We used guide quality methodological, linguistic, content-related criteria. Of 1,528 screened articles, 47 full-texts reviewed. Thirteen contained seven ten found that all contain same equivalent characteristics define concepts 'oral health', 'deterioration function', hypofunction'. Between is described with different number combination characteristics, resulting lack consistency. None met According our analysis, current cannot considered 'good' definitions. Therefore, we proposed definition: Oral age-related functional decline orofacial structures.

The association between cognitive impairment and oral health or oral hygiene behaviors among multiethnic older adults in Western China: a cross-sectional multicenter study

BMC Public Health, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 21, 2025

Older adults with cognitive impairment tend to experience deteriorating oral health and inadequate hygiene behaviors, but few studies have addressed interethnic variability. This study aimed explore the associations between or behaviors in multiethnic older Western China. We conducted a cross-sectional multicenter from four provinces of China, recruiting aged 50 years July December 2018. Oral were evaluated through an examination self-made questionnaire, whereas condition was assessed via Chinese version Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire (SPMSQ). Three multiple regression models used examine adjustments for relevant variables. A total 6529 participants median age (interquartile range) 62.4 (55, 68) included. The prevalence 15.4%, Yi group having highest (28.9%), followed by Tibetan (19.1%) Qiang (15.4%) groups. Poorer self-rated health, fewer residual teeth, less frequent use toothbrushes toothpaste, irregular dental care associated risk (p < 0.05). SPMSQ scores correlations heterogeneous among Inadequate may be higher impairment. Advancing is essential preventing adults.
