“…Therefore, guidance by dentists and dental hygienists is important [ 65 ]. In addition, since elderly people with oral function problems tend to have low multiple nutrient intake [ 68 ], nutritional guidance by registered dietitians, including assessments of dietary status and suggestions on how to eat, is also considered necessary.…”

This study examined older adults’ subjective wellbeing and related factors in the coastal area of Soma City nine and a half years after the Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). Data were collected from 65- to 84-year-old residents and 1297 participants via a questionnaire from October to November 2020. The participants were divided into two groups: housing complexes and non-housing complexes. The dependent variable was subjective wellbeing assessed via Lawton’s Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS). Using multivariate regression analysis, the factors most strongly related to a low PGCMS score for both groups were poor health conditions, difficulties resting while asleep, poor financial wellbeing, inability to chew certain foods, and fear of solitary death. The GEJE experience was further distinguished in the housing complex group by the loss of an important non-family individual; for the other group, important factors were female gender, junior high school education level or lower, limited social networks, and deterioration of a family member’s health. Older adults’ subjective wellbeing in Soma City was low after nine and a half years following the GEJE. For disaster victims and their families in both groups, it is crucial to implement measures such as long-term, continuous physical and mental health support.

Studies investigating the associations of oral function and dysphagia with frailty and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults are increasing; however, they have not been systematically summarized. We conducted a systematic review to investigate these associations. We searched electronic databases and synthesized relevant data using conventional (frequentist-style) and Bayesian meta-analyses. Twenty-four studies were found to be eligible for our review, including 20 cross-sectional and four prospective cohort studies. Older adults with frailty or sarcopenia had lower tongue pressure, according to the results of conventional meta-analysis (mean difference [95% confidence interval or credible interval]: −6.80 kPa [−10.22 to −3.38] for frailty and −5.40 kPa [−6.62 to −4.17] for sarcopenia) and Bayesian meta-analysis (−6.90 kPa [−9.0 to −4.8] for frailty, −5.35 kPa [−6.78 to −3.89] for sarcopenia). People with frailty had a higher odds ratio (OR) for dysphagia according to the results of conventional meta-analysis (3.99 [2.17 to 7.32]) and Bayesian meta-analysis (1.38 [0.77 to 1.98]). However, the results were inconclusive for people with sarcopenia. A prospective association could not be determined because of the lack of information and the limited number of studies. Decreased oral function and dysphagia can be important characteristics of frailty and sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults.

“…Particularly, many factors increase the vulnerability and effects of poor oral health on long‐term care facility residents, including lack of access to professional oral care, insufficient brushing of teeth or cleaning of a denture, and ongoing physical/mental conditions that require constant care and supervision 29–31 . In addition, oral conditions contribute more to suffering near the end of life than at the earlier stage of a terminal illness 32 . For instance, xerostomia (dry mouth) can be persistent and tends to worsen as death approaches during the last days of life 33–36 .…”

Aims: The purpose was to examine the association between oral conditions and other symptoms in long‐term care facilities during the last days of life.Methods: A retrospective case‐control study approach was used in this study, with the Minimum Data Set (MDS, ver. 3.0 2015) that was maintained and administrated by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Residents with oral conditions (n = 4304) were selected with any oral conditions (e.g., ulcers, inflamed/bleeding gums, mouth/facial pain). The control cases (n = 12 912) were selected using propensity analysis.Results: Oral conditions had significant impacts on depression, poor appetite, pain, shortness of breath, and constipation. Although no statistically significant differences in trouble sleeping, vomiting, internal bleeding, and dehydration were found between the cases with oral conditions and the control, more residents with oral conditions reported trouble sleeping and dehydration compared to the control.Conclusions: It is important to provide preventive and proactive intervention for oral conditions, not only to minimize the negative effects of oral conditions on other symptoms in long‐term care facilities, but also to share philanthropic support with people who might be suffering other symptoms due to oral conditions at the end of life.
