Abstract:
Oral frailty and cognitive impairment are the common geriatric syndromes.There may be similar correlation mechanism between them,which are related with polypharmacy,malnutrition,inflammato-ry responses and psychosocial factors.The occurrence of oral frailty could potentially increase the risk of cog-nitive impairments,in which tooth loss,reduced chewing function,swallowing difficulties,low tongue pres-sure,and diminished oral motor function are closely correlated with cognitive impairments.Understanding the correlation between the two is conducive to prevent and interfere the healthy status in elderly people,thus in-crease their quality of life and health level.
