Oral Health and Social Isolation After 6 Years: Mediation of Oral Functions
With low precision and uncertain estimates, limited oral function might have mediated the association between tooth loss (10-19 with and without dental prosthesis use groups) and social isolation over 6 years. It was uncertain whether a mediation effect of oral functions was observed for those with 0-9 teeth with and without dental prosthesis use.
