Clinical correlates of changes in self-perceived oral health in older adults

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology

Abstract

Although numerous investigators have reported on self-perceived oral health status in adult and older adult populations, few have examined how these perceptions change over time. This paper uses data from a longitudinal oral health survey of community-dwelling Canadians aged 50 years and over to explore this issue. Data were collected at baseline and after 3 years. Change was assessed using a global transition judgement and change scores on four subjective oral health status indicators. These indicators addressed chewing capacity, oral and facial pain symptoms, other oral symptoms, and the psychosocial impact of oral disorders. Overall, 23.0% reported that their oral health had worsened over this period, 66.5% that it had remained the same and 10.5% that it had improved. Change scores on the four indicators showed a similar pattern and were significantly associated with these global judgements. Over the same period, substantial proportions lost one or more teeth, acquired new coronal or root DFS increments or experienced loss of periodontal attachment. An additional 17% complained of dry mouth. However, the only clinical indicator associated with changing perceptions of oral health was tooth loss. Of interest was the fact that ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
