“Chew on This: Oral health is associated with cognitive function among Canadians enrolled in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging”
This paper highlights that middle aged and elderly Canadians with inadequate MA have a 2.82 times higher odds of experiencing cognitive impairment. Addressing chewing difficulties may serve as a modifiable risk factor for early cognitive decline, offering a potential window of opportunity to slow down the process of cognitive decline among aging populations.
