Association between occlusal support and cognitive impairment in older Chinese adults: a community-based study

IntroductionThe loss of occlusal support due to tooth loss is associated with systemic diseases. However, there was little about the association between occlusal support and cognitive impairment.

description IntroductionThe loss of occlusal support due to tooth loss is associated with systemic diseases. However, there was little about the association between occlusal support and cognitive impairment. The cross-sectional study aimed to investigate their association.MethodsCognitive function was assessed and diagnosed in 1,225 community-dwelling adults aged 60 years or older in Jing’an District, Shanghai. Participants were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) by Peterson’s criteria, or dementia, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. We determined the number of functional occlusal supporting areas according to Eichner classifications. We used multivariate logistic regression models to analyze the relationship between occlusal support and cognitive impairment and mediation effect models to analyze the mediation effect of age.ResultsSix hundred sixty participants were diagnosed with cognitive impairment, averaging 79.92 years old. After adjusting age, sex, education level, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, individuals with poor occlusal support had an OR of 3.674 (95%CI 1.141–11.829) for cognitive impairment compared to those with good occlusal support. Age mediated 66.53% of the association between the number of functional occlusal supporting areas and cognitive impairment.DiscussionIn this study, cognitive impairment was significantly associated with the number of missing teeth, functional occlusal areas, and Eichner classifications with older community residents. Occlusal support should be a significant concern for people with cognitive impairment.
