Abstract
Background: It is unclear whether hand grip strength can predict the risk of future tooth loss. This study aims to explore the association between hand grip strength levels and lost all teeth in the middle-aged and elderly population in China through a nationwide cohort study.
Method: Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), 8360 participants aged 45 years or older (58.60 ± 8.04 years) were included, who participated in two rounds of surveys in 2015 and 2018. Participants were divided into four groups based on the hand grip strength (standardised by body weight) quartile of the baseline survey. A multiple logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between hand grip strength and lost all teeth. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to analyse the dose-response relationship between hand grip strength and lost all teeth.
Result: During the follow-up period, 488 (5.80%) study subjects were found to have lost all teeth. In comparison with the study subjects who had incomplete tooth loss, those with complete tooth loss were older, with a higher body mass index (BMI) and a larger waist circumference. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between grip strength level and the risk of complete tooth loss. Further subgroup analysis indicated that the association between standardised hand grip strength and the risk of losing all teeth was strong in both male and normal C-reactive protein (CRP) levels subgroups. There was no non-linear dose-response relationship between hand grip strength level and the risk of complete tooth loss (p non-linear > 0.05).
Conclusion: Our findings reveal a negative correlation between standardised grip strength and complete tooth loss, with higher levels of standardised grip strength being associated with a lower risk of complete tooth loss.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function.
Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology.
The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
