| Abstract: | The aim of this observational study was to investigate the relationship between nutrition and oral health in geriatric patients. Data collection involved administering questionnaires and conducting clinical examinations. Sociodemographic information, nutritional status (evaluated using the Mini-Nutritional Assessment), and oral health parameters (including objective measures such as caries experience and denture usage, as well as subjective measures using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index) were assessed. Community Periodontal Index and Loss of Attachment measurements were used to evaluate periodontal health. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and statistical tests such as chi-square, regression, and correlation analyses. The study included 60 participants, with a slightly higher proportion of females (56.7%) compared to males (43.3%). The findings revealed significant impacts of dental issues on various aspects of participants' lives, including food choices (60.0% reported limitations), chewing difficulties (33.3% experienced problems), swallowing discomfort (30.0% reported discomfort), speech limitations (40.0% felt restricted), and social interactions (36.7% limited contacts). The associations between oral health variables (GOHAI, xerostomia, chewing problems), nutritional status (MNA), and periodontal health indicators (CPI, LOA) were statistically significant (p < 0.05). The analysis of demographic variables revealed significant associations between GOHAI scores and gender, age, height, and weight. The study highlights significant oral health challenges among independent elderly individuals, with compromised oral health indicators and poor periodontal health. The findings underscore the importance of integrating oral health and nutritional assessments into geriatric care to improve overall well-being. Further research and interventions are needed to address these oral health issues and promote better oral health outcomes for the elderly population. |
