Association between frailty and oral function in rheumatoid arthritis patients: A multi-center, observational study
Frailty is strongly associated with oral function decline in RA patients. This finding highlights the importance of monitoring the oral function of RA patients, since it not only reflects physical function, but also serves as a potential marker of frailty. Targeted interventions to improve oral function may play a vital role in reducing frailty risk and enhancing the overall well-being of RA patients.
