Oral frailty score

Lower oral frailty raises functional independence in older adults

In simulated models, a stepwise reduction in oral frailty increased the probability of being alive and functionally independent by 73% (probability…In simulated models, a stepwise reduction in oral frailty increased the probability of being alive and functionally independent by 73% (probability ratio 1.73, 95% CI 1.48–2.02).
