Tooth loss is tied to faster progression to dementia and death
In 22,205 older adults followed for 12.3 years, complete tooth loss increased the transition risk from mild cognitive impairment to dementia with a…In 22,205 older adults followed for 12.3 years, complete tooth loss increased the transition risk from mild cognitive impairment to dementia with a hazard ratio of 1.26.
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).
