Oral frailty is proposed as a new concept defined as an age-related gradual loss of oral functions accompanied by a decline in cognitive and physical functions in older adults. Herein, we aimed to examine the correlations between the high risk of oral frailty, the remaining number of teeth, and oral health behavior in community-dwelling 80-year-old adults in Japan. Oral frailty was evaluated using the Oral Frailty Index-8, and ≥ 4 points were defined as high risk. Overall, 3,389 participants (2,009 women and 1,380 men) were included. Among the participants, 1,283 (37.9%) had a high risk of oral frailty. Logistic regression analysis revealed that a high risk of oral frailty was significantly associated with < 20 remaining teeth and poor oral behaviors. Additionally, 2,006 (59.2%) participants had ≥ 20 remaining teeth. The participants with ≥ 20 remaining teeth were significantly associated with the residential district, interdental cleaning, and dementia. The main clinical implication of this study is that improving behaviors regarding oral healthcare among community-dwelling individuals may be an effective way to reduce oral frailty. Moreover, ≥ 20 remaining teeth in the 80-year-old population were notably higher in the rural areas than that in the urban areas in Japan.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to clarify the relationship between oral frailty and oral dysbiosis among hospitalized patients aged ≥ 50 years.MethodsA prospective observational study was conducted. Number of teeth, masticatory ability, articulatory oral motor skill, tongue pressure, swallowing pressure, and choking were used to assess oral frailty. Saliva samples were collected from the oral cavity for bacterial culture.ResultsA total 103 in patients enrolled and 53.4% suffered from oral frailty. Oral frailty was found to have a 3.07‐fold correlation with the presence of Enterobacterales in the oral cavity (p = 0.037), especially in poor articulatory oral motor skill, which showed at greater risk of Enterobacterales isolated from the oral cavity by 5.58‐fold (p = 0.01).ConclusionHalf of hospitalized patients was found to have oral frailty that was related to more Enterobacterales in the oral cavity. This evidence suggests that the enhancement of articulatory oral motor skills may serve as a potential strategy for mitigating the presence of Enterobacterales within the oral cavity.
