Description
Yanru Chen and co-authors pooled factors tied to oral frailty in older adults in a 2025 review. Oral frailty is the slow loss of mouth function with age, from weak chewing to dry mouth. It feeds poor nutrition and a chain of other harms, so early flags matter.
The team searched eight databases, Chinese and global, for observational studies up to April 2025. They pooled the factors that travel with oral frailty across those studies. The joined list gives clinics a check sheet for who to screen first. It also points to which factors care can change, such as tooth loss care and food support.
