All definitions contained measurable attributes (item 8). When the definitions of oral frailty were compared to the definitions of the similar concepts presented in Table A.3, we found that all definitions of oral frailty contained the same or equivalent terms and attributes used to define the ...
Poor oral health, including dental caries, periodontal diseases and the resulting tooth loss, induce a change in food selection and dietary patterns, potentially resulting in frailty and dependency [18,19,20], subsequently affecting general well-being and quality of life [21]. There are several f...
Protein intake is also associated with the development of frailty [5]. The link between oral function and nutritional status has been reported in several studies [6,7,8]. However, some of these reports sampled a large number of elderly participants who did not have dentures or other necessary...
Overall, difference in survival was modeled using a Cox proportional hazards regression frailty model, clustering over site, having verified that the proportional hazards assumption was met. Differences in the proportion using midazolam and level of use in those who received the drug was assessed ...
Given the nature of this survey study it was not possible to apply a known vulnerability index, such as from Tilburg Frailty Indicator.15 BDJOpen (2017) 17020 The hypothesis that the season, in which the questionnaire was administered potentially, might have influenced the estimated numbers of ...

FP was determined using five frailty criteria, i.e., weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slowness, or low physical activity, and the level of frailty was classified with the number of criteria present ( robust , none; pre-frail, 1–2; frail , 3+). FI was determined using a 44-item ...
Conclusions: The five items could be used as a screening tool for evaluating oral and maxillofacial frailty in older adults.doi:10.1111/joor.12890Jee〩ye ChoiJeong〩yun KangSang〣aek KohNam〩ee KimHong㏒eop KhoJournal of Oral Rehabilitation...
The oral frailty five-item checklist (OF-5) enables non-dental professionals to evaluate oral frailty using five key indicators: remaining teeth count, chewing difficulties, swallowing difficulties, dry mouth, and articulatory oral skills. Limited studies exist. Methods: This study examined the ...
