Journal of Preventive Medicine 2024;36(4):308-313
Abstract:
To investigate the status and influencing factors of tooth loss among the elderly population in China, so as to provide insights into early prevention of tooth loss.
Methods:
Based on the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), data of the elderly people aged 65 years and older who participated in the survey in 2018 were collected, including demographic information, lifestyle, dietary habits, medical history, number of teeth remaining and self-assessment indicators. The status of tooth loss among the elderly were described based on the standard of 28 teeth, and factors affecting tooth loss were analyzed using a multivariable ordinal logistic regression model.
Results:
A total of 5 260 people was recruited, including 3 346 males (63.61%) and 1 914 females (36.39%). The median age was 78.00 (interquartile range, 18.00) years. The median number of teeth remaining was 12.00 (interquartile range, 23.00), and the median number of missing teeth was 16.00 (interquartile range, 23.00). Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly who were female (OR=1.270, 95%CI: 1.098-1.470), had advanced age (OR=1.090, 95%CI: 1.083-1.098), lived in rural areas (OR=1.369, 95%CI: 1.165-1.610) and urban areas (OR=1.208, 95%CI: 1.027-1.422), smoked (past, OR=1.471, 95%CI: 1.240-1.746; always, OR=1.545, 95%CI: 1.300-1.838) and brushed teeth less than once a day (OR=1.791, 95%CI: 1.488-2.160) had more missing teeth; while the elderly who had high levels of education (junior high school, OR=0.819, 95%CI: 0.681-0.972; high school, OR=0.626, 95%CI: 0.507-0.771; college and above, OR=0.468, 95%CI: 0.334-0.657), kept physical exercise (OR=0.840, 95%CI: 0.736-0.958) and were overweight/obese (OR=0.868, 95%CI: 0.769-0.980) had less missing teeth.
Conclusion
Gender, age, residence, educational level, smoking, physical exercise, teeth brushing frequency and overweight/obese are the influencing factors for tooth loss among the elderly in China.

Objective To explore the role of H19 imprinting in etiology of pre-eclampsia. Methods Placentas of 24 women with pre-eclampsia (3 with mild pre-eclampsia and 21 with severe pre-eclampsia) and 50 healthy pregnant women at full term (control) were collected during selected cesarean delivery between August 2007 and March 2008. The statuses of H19 imprinting with placental tissues from normal pregnancy and patients with pre-eclampsia were identified upon polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The systolic and diastolic pressure were analyzed in H19 heterozygotic women. Results (1) There were 20 (40%) heterozygotes in 50 cases placenta tissues of the third trimesters, 11 (45%) heterozygotes in 24 cases placenta tissues of pre-eclampsia, There were no significant difference between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). (2) All 20 heterozygotes in placenta tissues of the third trimesters are exclusively monoallelically expressed, while 5 cases (45%) in 11 heterozygotes of pre-eclampsia are biallelically expressed (loss of imprinting, LOI). There were significant difference between two groups (P < 0. 01 ). (3) The values of systolic and diastolic pressure of patients with monoallelic expression of H19 were (171 ±9) mm Hg (1 nun Hg =0.133 kPa) and ( 104±8) mm Hg, the values of systolic and diastolic pressure with biallelic expression were ( 194±21 ) mm Hg and ( 124±18) mm Hg. There were significant difference between two groups (P<0.05 ). Conclusion LOI of H19 can be identified in pre-eclamptic placentas and is associated with maternal blood pressures, which implies the involvement of H19 gene LOI in the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia and its potential relationship with the severity of the disease.
