Municipality-level civic participation

downin humans1

1 study

  1. Municipality-level civic participation is associated with incident oral frailty in humans (Older adults in Japan; association not statistically significant in all models).

    “Although not statistically significant in all models, higher municipality-level civic participation tended to be associated with a lower risk of incident oral frailty.”

  1. Residential area is associated with incident oral frailty in humans.

    “residing in urban, semi-urban, or rural-agricultural areas was associated with a lower risk of incident oral frailty compared with metropolitan area residency.”

Oral frailty rates differed across communities in Japan

Among 42,987 adults in Japan aged 65 or older followed from 2019 to 2022, the share developing oral frailty ranged from 17.1% to 33.3% across municipalities.Among 42,987 adults in Japan aged 65 or older followed from 2019 to 2022, the share developing oral frailty ranged from 17.1% to 33.3% across municipalities.
