Survey on the risk of oral frailty among the elderly in the community and analysis of its influ-encing factors
Objective To analyze the results of a survey on the risk of oral frailty among the elderly in the community,and then,to analyze the influencing factors through logistic regression analysis as well as to formulate the corresponding preventive measures.Methods A total of 200 elderly patients with oral frailty in the community from January 2021 to November 2022 were collected as the research objects.A questionnaire was developed.The influencing factors related to the risk of oral frailty were analyzed.The corresponding improvement measures were formulated.Results Among the200 patients,54 patients(27.0%)were low-risk,44(22.0%)were medium-risk and 102(22.0%)were high-risk.The scores of Eating Assessment(EAT-10)of the patients with oral frailty were(1.09±0.25)and dysphagia occurred in 20 patients(10.0%).The scores of Mini Nutritional Assessment Short Form(MNA-SF)were(11.15±2.77)points.There were 13 cases(6.5%)with malnutrition,88(44.0%)with malnutrition risk and 25(12.5%)with normal nutrition.The scores of Geriatric Self-Efficacy Scale for Oral Health(GSEOH)were(53.49±4.45).Logistic regressionanalysisshowedthattheinfluencingfactorsrelatedtotheriskoforalfrailtywereoralhealthself-efficacy,age,monthly income and smoking(P＜0.05).The risk of oral frailty was positively correlated with oral health self-efficacy,age,monthly income,and smoking(P＜0.05).Conclusions Through the questionnaire of elderly people with oral frailty in the com-munity,it is found that the risk factors affecting the incidence of oral frailty are mainly oral health self-efficacy,age,monthly income and smoking.By proposing effective intervention measures,necessary support to prevent the risk of oral weakness can be provided.
