Analysis of the Current Status and Influencing Factors of Oral Frailty in Community‐Dwelling Older Adults
The prevalence of oral frailty in older adults in the community is 33.4%, which is at an intermediate level of the reported prevalence in China (17.1%-59.2%), but still higher than that in Japan (20.0%). Older adults who are older, have less than 20 teeth without dentures, have less than five pairs of posterior occlusal pairs, do not use dental floss, and do not gargle are at high risk of oral frailty and should be paid attention to.
