“…Yang and Seo [15] reported a significant difference in oral health behavior in the elderly according to income and educational level. This current study was inconsistent with the results of Oh and Kim [19], but was similar to Yang and Seo [15]. Self-rated oral health was more likely to be better in the oldest individuals in the study, educational level, and in males than in females, with a monthly income of more than 6,000,000 won compared with elderly people with a monthly income of 500,000 won.…”

“…General and socio-economic characteristics such as age, gender, educational level, monthly income, and living status were factors affecting self-rated oral health. In the study of Oh and Kim [ 19 ], the variables that differed according to the self-rated health of the elderly were occupation, and medical care, and the influencing factors were 1.65 times stronger compared with those without an occupation. Yang and Seo [ 15 ] reported a significant difference in oral health behavior in the elderly according to income and educational level.…”

“…Previous oral health studies have focused on self-rated oral health as a secondary variable, including oral health behavior [ 15 ], and oral health-related quality of life (HRQOL) [ 16 – 18 ]. Thus, the variables that affect self-rated oral health are unknown [ 19 ]. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing self-rated oral health in elderly people living in the community.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the factors influencing perceived oral health in elderly individuals residing in the community. Methods: This study used raw data from the Korea community health survey, 2016. Of the 64,223 participants that were elderly (aged ≥ 65 years), 61,280 (95.4%) were included for analysis. Self-rated oral health was the dependent variable and 6 independent variables including age, gender, type of area of residence (metropolitan or provincial), educational level, income, and living status with spouse were assessed. Oral function was studied based on mastication, pronunciation, and use of dentures, and oral health behavior included brushing teeth after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, and before sleep). The EQ-5D questionnaire measured health-related quality of life (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/ discomfort and anxiety/depression). Results: Among the general characteristics, age, gender, educational level, income, and living status with spouse were the factors that affected self-rated oral health. Mastication, pronunciation, use of dentures, and brushing after lunch, dinner, and before sleep were the factors that influenced self-rated oral function. All domains of the EQ-5D (pain/discomfort, mobility, self-care, usual activities, and anxiety/ depression) were factors that affected self-rated oral health. Conclusion: The results of the current investigation suggest that the development of management and education strategies for oral health promotion in the elderly, should focus on improving oral function and oral health behavior, taking into account the socioeconomic and demographic characteristics that have been shown to be associated with poor self-rated oral function.

“…Even after controlling for demographic, economic, and health-related factors, it was found that oral health had a large effect on the nutritional status of the elderly [ 7 ]. A small number of remaining teeth or a large number of missing teeth causes disturbances in food intake, limiting the range of food choices and reducing the quantity and quality of meals of the elderly, in turn affecting their health maintenance [ 29 ]. It has been reported that oral diseases and mastication-related problems increase with age and decrease the quality of life [ 30 ].…”

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES The purposes of this study were to evaluate the nutritional status and dietary habits of the elderly using the nutrition quotient for the elderly (NQ-E) and to analyze the differences in the NQ-E according to their levels of oral health. SUBJECTS/METHODS The survey was administered to 123 elderly people receiving congregate meal services in Seoul. The questionnaire comprised 3 domains: oral health status, general characteristics, and the NQ-E for the elderly. RESULTS The respondents were divided into 2 groups based on the average score of their levels of oral health (the group with high oral health scores: 4.42 points and the group with low oral health scores: 2.89 points). As a result of evaluating nutritional status using the NQ-E, it was found that the average NQ-E score was 58.7 points, with 46.0 points in the balance domain, 47.0 points in the diversity domain, 72.9 points in the moderation domain, and 61.8 points in the dietary behavior domain. The NQ-E score (62.3 points) of the group with high oral health scores is significantly higher than the NQ-E score (54.7 points) of the group with low oral health scores ( P < 0.001). Concerning the NQ domain scores, the elderly with good oral health status had “favorable” results in terms of balance and dietary behavior, and the elderly with poor oral health status had “favorable” results only in terms of balance. CONCLUSIONS Overall, several dietary areas needed improvement in general. Those with poor oral health conditions urgently needed to improve related factors to minimize the risk of increasing imbalanced nutrition and comorbidities due to insufficient nutrition and undesirable eating habits.

This study examined the general characteristics and nutritional status by oral health among the Korean elderly. The data from the 2015 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) were used. The subjects were 1,352 old adults aged 65 years old and older. The oral health indicators were classified after completing a questionnaire asking about the experiences of toothache within the recent year, self-perception of oral health, chewing difficulty, and speaking difficulty. The group with poor self-perception of oral health had lower household income. The group with chewing difficulty showed older age, lower education status, and lower household income. The group with speaking difficulty showed older age, lower education status, lower household income, and higher current smoking. The group with speaking difficulty showed lower intakes of nuts and seeds and mushrooms. The group with chewing difficulty had a lower riboflavin intake than those without chewing difficulty. The group with speaking difficulty showed a lower intake of dietary fiber than those without speaking difficulty. Compared to the Korean Dietary Reference Intakes (KDRIs), the group with chewing difficulty showed a higher proportion of insufficiency in riboflavin intake than those without chewing difficulty. The group with speaking difficulty showed a higher proportion of insufficiency in iron intake than those without speaking difficulty. These findings showed that the elderly with chewing and speaking difficulties have a low nutritional status in some nutrients. Therefore, nutritional intervention and oral health care are necessary.
