The symptom network of oral health conditions in older populations with oral frailty: a cross-sectional study

The study explored the relationship between oral symptoms and oral frailty using network analysis. The study recommended that communities implement routine oral functional assessments to increase the denture restoration rate and identify oral frailty at an early stage, as well as educational and promotional programs aimed at maintaining oral hygiene and function. Future research should further analyze the causal relationships between oral symptoms, particularly periodontal pocket depth, oral frailty, and overall frailty.
