Falls and fear of falling cause serious health problems, which, in turn are associated with high injury rate, high medical costs and a negative impact on quality of life. Older and senile patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) are at high risk of falling. However, in clinical practice, the prevalence of falls and the risks of falls are not well understood and underestimated by physicians and patients themselves. An increased risk of falling is associated with various factors, such as drugs, structural heart disease, orthostatic hypotension and arrhythmias, as well as gait and balance disorders, physical weakness, sensory disturbances. These risks are especially important with the growing number of older people with cardiovascular disease. All physicians involved in the care of patients with CVD should pay attention to the assessment, prevention and treatment of falls in adults with heart disease, and the treatment of cardiovascular disease in patients at risk of falls.","PeriodicalId":256357,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Geriatric Medicine","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132353716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oral frailty is associated with decreased quality of life and general health in older adults.Objective: to assess the relationship between oral frailty, physical frailty and physical functioning decline.Methods: An epidemiological cross-sectional Eucalyptus study of adults aged 65 years and older (n=396). The main study parameters: oral health status, chronic diseases, a comprehensive geriatric assessment, complete blood count.Results: 75.5% (n=299) of participants had less than half teeth. 87% of them used removable/fixed dentures or implants. Despite the high frequency of denture use, 9.4% (n=37) of study participants reported difficulties in pronunciation of words and 19.2% (n=76) complained of pain/discomfort when chewing food due to oral health/teeth/dentures. After adjusting for sex, age, cognitive decline, number of remaining teeth, denture/implant use, nutritional status and stroke/TIA, heart failure, chewing or speech problems due to problems of the oral cavity associated with teeth / oral mucosa / dentures were associated with low grip strength with OR (95% CI) 2.738 (1.306–5.737) and 2.494 (1.045– 5.952) respectively and frailty with OR (95% CI) 2.513 (1.083–5.829) in the group of study participants with difficulty in pronunciation of words. The association between chewing difficulty and frailty was significant after adjusting for sex, age, cognitive decline, number of remaining teeth, denture/implant use, nutritional status, and stroke/TIA with OR (95% CI) 2.002 (1.020–3.931), but disappeared after adjusting for heart failure.Conclusion: Chewing or pronunciation difficulties due to oral health problems were associated with an increased risk of frailty, and low levels of physical functioning.
