Prevalence and influencing factors of oral frailty among middle-aged and older patients with chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study
Compared with non-CKD patients, CKD patients demonstrate poorer oral health status, and oral frailty is common among CKD patients. This finding suggests the necessity for healthcare professionals to develop individualized and evidence-based strategies for the prevention and management of oral frailty, with particular emphasis on high-risk populations requiring targeted interventions.
