Oral functional limitation and risk of frailty onset in older adults: a sex-stratified 4-Year cohort study with competing risk analysis
Self-reported oral functional limitation was significantly associated with frailty onset over 4 years, particularly among women. Incorporating oral function assessment into geriatric screening and community health programs may facilitate early identification of risk and the implementation of preventive strategies for frailty.
