Description
Xi Pan, Uma Kelekar, and T Muhammad examined the link between oral health and cognitive function in older Indians, publishing in twenty twenty-three. Their data came from the Longitudinal Aging Survey of India and its dementia assessment companion study. The analysis included just over four thousand respondents aged sixty and above.
Oral health was measured by reported problems such as painful teeth, bleeding gums, loose teeth, cavities, and mouth ulcers. Cognitive function came from a standardized battery of tests. Having one or more oral health problems was associated with lower cognitive scores. Losing all natural teeth, by contrast, showed no significant association. The authors urge better education of older people about the mouth and mind connection.
