Relationship between risk of oral frailty and awareness of oral frailty among community-dwelling adults: a cross-sectional study
Abstract We aimed to investigate the relationship between the risk of oral frailty and awareness of oral frailty among Japanese adults in an adult dental health field study conducted in Kanagawa Prefecture. Questionnaire data from a total of 5051 individuals (1907 males, 3144 females; mean age; 59.9...

| description | Abstract We aimed to investigate the relationship between the risk of oral frailty and awareness of oral frailty among Japanese adults in an adult dental health field study conducted in Kanagawa Prefecture. Questionnaire data from a total of 5051 individuals (1907 males, 3144 females; mean age; 59.9 years) were used. The risk of oral frailty was assessed using the Oral Frailty Index-8. Of the participants, 1418 (28.1%) had a high risk of oral frailty and 1495 (29.6%) had knowledge of oral frailty. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk of oral frailty was significantly associated with awareness of oral frailty. We further found that awareness of oral frailty was significantly related to gender (female), age (20–39 compared to 70–79, ≥ 80), residential areas (Yokohama compared to Kawasaki, Sagamihara), exercise habits (yes), eating a balanced diet (yes), consciousness of oral health (yes), risk of oral frailty (low) and outpatient category (hospital visit). For groups with low levels of awareness obtained from the results of this study, it is necessary to consider the means of accessibility and increase awareness further. |
