Association between oral health and physio-cognitive decline syndrome of older adults in China and its sex differences: a cross-sectional study
Findings underscore the significant association between oral health and the odds of PCDs among older adults, with sex-specific effects. For women, maintaining natural teeth and proper denture use are associated with lower odds of MIND and CIND, while for men, oral frailty is linked to higher odds of PCDs. Healthcare providers should consider oral health and incorporate sex-specific strategies.
