“…Previous studies reported that the prevalence of poor oral status was 31% in nursing homes and 44–92% in hospitals, respectively. Poor oral status in older people is a risk factor for malnutrition . Tooth loss, caries, periodontal disease and infections of the oral mucosa are conceivable reasons for malnutrition .…”

“…[5][6][7][8] Tooth loss, caries, periodontal disease and infections of the oral mucosa are conceivable reasons for malnutrition. 8 These data suggest that oral comorbidities are common in older people. Furthermore, poor oral status not only plays an important role in nutritional status and quality of life, but also can contribute to serious morbidity and mortality in older people.…”

“…In majority of studies investigating anemia in older people, the relationship of foods with anemia development is not handled satisfactorily. It has been determined that along with aging, the consumption of foods containing quality proteins and the consumption of meat, the most important source for B group vitamins and iron, declines 26 . Tooth loss and weakening sense of smell and taste occurs especially when red meat consumption gets less 27 .…”

Abstract:Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the consumption of some foods and iron, B 12 , and folate deficiency in aged people. Method:A total number of 77 individuals aged 65 and over were involved in this study. The diagnosis of anemia was made according to the plasma hemoglobin levels of the patients based on WHO criteria. The data related to eating habits and socio-demographic features of the individuals and their consumption frequency of some foods were collected through a questionnaire form administered face-to-face. Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) and stadiometer were used for conducting anthropometric measurements. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)] and differences of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results:The mean age of the participants was 72.1±4.9 years. The mean BMI was 28.8±4.7 kg/m 2 of males and 33.6±5.7 kg/m 2 of females. The prevalence of anemia was 31.6% in females and 10.3% in males. While there were no individuals with folate deficiency, 13.0% of the individuals were found to have B 12 vitamin deficiency. The proportions of muscle mass and body water, visceral fat, and serum iron level in males were found significantly higher (p<0.05). The highest anemia frequency was observed in obese individuals (30.0%) and individuals aged 75 and over (22.7%) (p<0.05). While there was no relationship between the frequency of main and intermediate meal consumption and anemia, consumption of chicken was found to be significantly associated (p<0.05).Conclusion: Anemia in elderly people was determined to be significantly associated with age, gender, BMI, and the frequency of chicken consumption. Adequate and balanced nutrition for elderly people is important in preventing nutritional anemia.

“…Systemic inflammatory responses are evaluated by the changes in blood biochemical data that are caused by inflammatory cytokines such as IL6, which are released into the blood because of immune system activity associated with tumors (Roxburgh & McMillan ). Therefore, low preoperative nutritional status in patients with gastric cancer is associated with delayed wound healing, decreased immune function, development of complications, and increased mortality (Buzby et al, ; Fukai et al, ; Kim et al, ; Onodera et al, ; Ship et al, ; Soini et al, ; Yoshida et al, ). Potential mechanisms underlying the association between oral health and gastric cancer include periodontal disease, drinking and smoking habits, local activation of carcinogens, such as acetaldehyde and nitrosamines derived from diet, inflammation of the mucosa of the upper gastrointestinal tract because of inadequately chewed foods, dietary composition, and changes in the oral bacterial flora, which may cause increased systemic inflammation in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts, including the stomach, pancreas, and cardiovascular system (Rocco & Nardone ; Yin et al, ,).…”

“…Several studies have investigated the relationship between the decrease in the number of teeth or chewing function and nutritional status; however, few studies have correlated preoperative nutritional status of gastrointestinal cancer patients with their oral status (De Marchi et al, ; Kikutani et al, ; Murakami et al, ; Takeuchi & Yamamoto ; Yoshida et al, ). In particular, we were unable to find any studies specifically on correlation with occlusal support.…”

Objective Systemic inflammatory responses in cancer patients are important factors for nutrition and prognosis. This study evaluates the association between tooth loss, occlusal status, and prognostic nutritional index (PNI). Methods A total of 93 patients with gastric cancer were included. These parameters were investigated the following: stage, body mass index (BMI), total lymphocyte count, C‐reactive protein (CRP), PNI, and albumin (ALB). Patients were divided into three groups by Eichner classification (group A had contact in four support zones; group B had in one to three zones or in anterior region; and group C had no contact). PNI assumed 40 or less undernutrition. Multiple regression analysis was performed (PNI, dependent variable; Eichner index, main independent variable), using four independent variables (sex, age, BMI, and CRP) as adjustment factors. Results The mean ± SD PNI in groups A, B, and C was 43.0 ± 4.7, 41.7 ± 5.2, and 36.7 ± 7.7, respectively. A significant positive correlation was found between the number of teeth, both ALB, and PNI. ALB and PNI differed significantly between groups A and C (ALB, p = .0003; PNI, p = .005). Conclusion We recommend a preoperative dental evaluation for assessing the nutritional status of patients with gastric cancer.
