Abstract

Introduction: Poor oral health can influence an individual's dietary intake, which may result in malnutrition. Both problems in oral health and function and malnutrition are common in older people. The aim of the present study was to explore the associations between oral health and oral function and malnutrition in community-dwelling older people within three different databases.

Methods: Data analyses were performed on three existing Dutch databases (Interrai: n = 3876, LPZ: n = 966, PRIMa mouth CARE: n = 975). Logistic regressions (adjusted for age and gender) tested the relation between oral health and oral function (independent variable) and malnutrition (dependent variable).

Results: Problems in oral health and oral function such as broken teeth (OR: 1.43 [95%CI: 1.12-1.81]), oral pain and discomfort (OR: 2.58 [95%CI: 1.52-4.39]), chewing difficulties (OR: 1.99 [95%CI: 1.54-2.57]), swallowing problems (OR: 6.63 [95%CI: 2.85-15.42]), coughing (OR: 6.05 [95%CI: 2.08-17.61]) and food adaptations (OR: 5.46 [95%CI: 2.60-11.4]) were found to be significantly associated with malnutrition in older people.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated a significant link between oral health problems and oral function with malnutrition in community-dwelling older people. Oral health care and healthcare professionals need to consider oral health and oral function in relation to nutritional status and vice versa in community-dwelling older people.

老年人口腔健康、口腔功能和营养不良之间的关系：来自三个数据库的结果

引言口腔健康状况不佳会影响个人的饮食摄入量，从而可能导致营养不良。口腔健康和功能问题以及营养不良在老年人中都很常见。本研究的目的是在三个不同的数据库中探讨社区老年人口腔健康和口腔功能与营养不良之间的关系：方法：对荷兰现有的三个数据库（Interrai：n = 3876；LPZ：n = 966；PRIMa mouth CARE：n = 975）进行数据分析。逻辑回归（根据年龄和性别进行调整）检验了口腔健康和口腔功能（自变量）与营养不良（因变量）之间的关系：结果：口腔健康和口腔功能问题，如牙齿断裂（OR：1.43 [95%CI：1.12-1.81]）、口腔疼痛和不适（OR：2.58 [95%CI：1.52-4.39]）、咀嚼困难（OR：1.99 [95%CI：1.54-2.57]）、吞咽困难（OR：6.63[95%CI：2.85-15.42]）、咳嗽（OR：6.05[95%CI：2.08-17.61]）和食物适应（OR：5.46[95%CI：2.60-11.4]）与老年人营养不良显著相关：这项研究表明，在社区居住的老年人中，口腔健康问题和口腔功能与营养不良之间存在重要联系。口腔保健和医疗保健专业人员需要考虑口腔健康和口腔功能与社区老年人营养状况的关系，反之亦然。
