BACKGROUND Due to improved healthcare, more people reach extreme ages. Oral health in the oldest-old has thus far been poorly described. Here, we investigated self-reported oral health factors, use of professional oral health care, and associations with clinical measures in centenarians considered cognitively healthy. METHODS In this observational cohort study, we included 162 (74% female) centenarians from the Dutch 100-plus Study cohort who self-reported to be cognitively healthy, as confirmed by a proxy. Centenarians were questioned about their physical well-being including medication use and their cognitive functioning was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination. Questions regarding oral health included preservation of teeth, oral pain or discomfort, chewing ability, xerostomia, and time since last visit to an oral health care provider. Associations between oral health and clinical measures were investigated with ordinal logistic or linear regression analyses, adjusted for gender, age, and education. RESULTS The majority of the centenarians indicated to have good oral health: 76% felt no oral pain/discomfort, 65% indicated to chew well; while only 18% had symptoms of xerostomia. Of all centenarians, 83% were edentulous and were wearing removable complete maxillary and mandibular dental prostheses, 1% was edentulous with no dental prosthesis, while 16% was dentate with or without removable partial dental prostheses (10 and 6% respectively). Dentate and edentulous centenarians experienced similar levels of oral pain and/or discomfort, chewing ability, xerostomia, and their cognitive functioning was similar. No relationship between cognitive functioning and chewing ability was found. Xerostomia was associated with medication use (p = .001), which mostly regarded medications for cardiovascular diseases, diuretics, anti-coagulants, and antacids. Only 18% of the centenarians visited an oral health care provider during the year prior to the interview, of whom 48% were dentate centenarians. Notably, 49% of the centenarians had not visited an oral health care provider for ≥10 years. CONCLUSIONS Most centenarians were edentulous and did not report oral complaints. Less than one-fifth of the centenarians continued to seek regular professional oral health care. Since the proportion of dentates in the oldest-old will increase in the near future, a proactive attitude toward this group is necessary.

荷兰100多名认知健康百岁老人的自我报告的口腔健康:一项观察性队列研究。

背景技术由于改善的医疗保健,更多的人达到了极限年龄。迄今为止,对高龄者的口腔健康的描述还很差。在这里,我们调查了自我报告的口腔健康因素,专业口腔保健的使用以及与被认为认知健康的百岁老人的临床测量之间的关系。方法在这项观察性队列研究中,我们包括来自荷兰100多个研究队列的162名(74%女性)百岁老人,他们自我报告称其认知健康,经代理人确认。百岁老人被问到他们的身体健康状况,包括药物使用情况,并且使用迷你精神状态检查对他们的认知功能进行了评估。有关口腔健康的问题包括牙齿保护,口腔疼痛或不适,咀嚼能力,口干,自上次拜访口腔保健服务提供商以来的时间和时间。通过序数逻辑或线性回归分析对口腔健康与临床指标之间的关联进行了调查,并针对性别,年龄和教育程度进行了调整。结果大多数百岁老人的口腔健康状况良好:76%的人没有口腔疼痛/不适,65%的人咀嚼良好。而只有18%的人有口腔干燥症的症状。在所有的百岁老人中,有83%的是无牙的,并且戴着可移动的完整上颌和下颌假牙,有1%的是无牙的无牙齿假牙,而有16%的牙齿是有或没有可移动的部分假牙(分别为10和6%)。齿状和无齿的百岁老人经历了相似程度的口腔疼痛和/或不适,咀嚼能力,口干症,并且他们的认知功能相似。没有发现认知功能和咀嚼能力之间的关系。口干症与药物使用有关(p = .001),其中多数被认为是用于心血管疾病,利尿剂,抗凝剂和抗酸药的药物。在采访前的一年中,只有18%的百岁老人去看过口腔保健提供者,其中48%是齿状的百岁老人。值得注意的是,有49%的百岁老人没有去口腔卫生保健人员≥10年。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。口干症与药物使用有关(p = .001),其中多数被认为是用于心血管疾病,利尿剂,抗凝剂和抗酸药的药物。在采访之前的一年中,只有18%的百岁老人去看过口腔保健提供者,其中48%是齿状的百岁老人。值得注意的是,有49%的百岁老人没有去口腔卫生保健人员≥10年。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。口干症与药物使用有关(p = .001),其中多数被认为是用于心血管疾病,利尿剂,抗凝剂和抗酸药的药物。在采访之前的一年中,只有18%的百岁老人去看过口腔保健提供者,其中48%是齿状的百岁老人。值得注意的是,有49%的百岁老人没有去口腔卫生保健人员≥10年。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。抗凝剂和抗酸剂。在采访前的一年中,只有18%的百岁老人去看过口腔保健提供者,其中48%是齿状的百岁老人。值得注意的是,有49%的百岁老人没有去口腔卫生保健人员≥10年。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。抗凝剂和抗酸剂。在采访之前的一年中,只有18%的百岁老人去看过口腔保健提供者,其中48%是齿状的百岁老人。值得注意的是,有49%的百岁老人没有去口腔卫生保健人员≥10年。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。结论大多数百岁老人是无牙的,没有报告口头抱怨。不到五分之一的百岁老人继续寻求定期的专业口腔保健。由于牙牙在最老的人群中的比例将在不久的将来增加,因此有必要对这一群体采取积极的态度。
