| Popis: | The relationship between oral health status and well-being of community dwelling frail elders was studied through questionnaires delivered to and filled out by 592 elders receiving home delivered meals. Oral status covered oral function, dental problems, oral hygiene practices and appliance use in the sample. Oral status was measured in a sub sample of 50 subjects given an oral examination, using the criteria above and soft tissue status. Plaque, calculus, and caries were measured in dentate subjects of the sub sample. Well-being was measured using standardised scales. The results indicate that oral status was related to well-being status. |
