“…Finally, improved access to and quality of dental care (Österberg et al 1995), combined with generally better living conditions, have resulted in lower prevalence rates of tooth loss among Swedish older people (Ekman 2006; Johanson et al 2009; Österberg, Carlsson and Sundh 2000). Therefore, the patterns of determinants found in this study may differ in future birth cohorts.…”

Determinants of tooth loss and chewing ability in mid- and late life in three Swedish birth cohorts

et al. 2014

The aim of the research presented is to determine the influence of socio-economic factors in childhood and mid-life on multiple tooth loss and chewing problems in mid-and late life in three Swedish birth cohorts (-, - and -). Longitudinal national Swedish surveys were used for the analysis. Participants were interviewed in mid-life in  and later in life (- years of age) in . Childhood socio-economic positions (SEP) did not result in different odds of multiple tooth loss and chewing problems in mid-and late life, but persons with higher mid-life SEP had lower odds. Persons born into the - birth cohort had significantly lower odds of multiple tooth loss in late life than the - birth cohort. Women had higher odds of losing multiple teeth than men in late life but not mid-life. Neither gender nor childhood and mid-life SEP predicted chewing problems late in life, but older people with multiple tooth loss had higher odds of chewing difficulty than those with mainly natural teeth. Childhood conditions may contribute to multiple tooth loss in mid-life, which subsequently contributes to multiple tooth loss in late life. Tooth loss in late life is strongly associated with difficulty chewing hard food. Prevalence of multiple tooth loss is higher in women than in men in late life but not in mid-life.

“…The pathological changes of the dental structure may have serious consequences, ultimately leading to the breakdown of the teeth themselves [59]. The prevalence of dental caries varies between 20% and 60% in community-dwelling older people and 60% and 80% in care home settings [60][61][62][63][64]. Various predisposing conditions to dental caries have been reported, including carbohydrate (especially simple sugars) consumption, diabetes, and poor socioeconomic conditions [60,[65][66][67][68].…”

Poor Oral Health as a Determinant of Malnutrition and Sarcopenia

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Aging is accompanied by profound changes in many physiological functions, leading to a decreased ability to cope with stressors. Many changes are subtle, but can negatively affect nutrient intake, leading to overt malnutrition. Poor oral health may affect food selection and nutrient intake, leading to malnutrition and, consequently, to frailty and sarcopenia. On the other hand, it has been highlighted that sarcopenia is a whole-body process also affecting muscles dedicated to chewing and swallowing. Hence, muscle decline of these muscle groups may also have a negative impact on nutrient intake, increasing the risk for malnutrition. The interplay between oral diseases and malnutrition with frailty and sarcopenia may be explained through biological and environmental factors that are linked to the common burden of inflammation and oxidative stress. The presence of oral problems, alone or in combination with sarcopenia, may thus represent the biological substratum of the disabling cascade experienced by many frail individuals. A multimodal and multidisciplinary approach, including personalized dietary counselling and oral health care, may thus be helpful to better manage the complexity of older people. Furthermore, preventive strategies applied throughout the lifetime could help to preserve both oral and muscle function later in life. Here, we provide an overview on the relevance of poor oral health as a determinant of malnutrition and sarcopenia.

“…The number of participants and examination year, as well as the number and percentage of individuals in whom saliva was collected, are presented in Table 1. No significant differences were found between non-responders and responders in the samples undergoing odontological examinations in the first three cohorts [32][33][34][35]38 and only small differences were found in cohort VI 36 .…”

Salivary secretion and drug treatment in four 70‐year‐old Swedish cohorts during a period of 30 years

In these four groups of 70-year-old participants, high drug consumption was associated with lower salivary flow. Unstimulated secretion was only affected in women and then, when taking four or more drugs. Pronounced hyposalivation was, however, uncommon. Cardiovascular drugs, antidepressants and antipsychotics were associated with low salivary secretion. In this age group, the frequently observed association between polypharmacy and a lower saliva secretion rate represents a risk of impaired dental health.
