Abstract:
In recent years, the aging rate of Japan’s population exceeded 28%; our country has become a super aged society.

 

Recent research has revealed that oral status is related to life expectancy, and “frailty” is one of the problems we face in a super aged society. With ageing, people slowly become weak due to a gradual decline in mental and physicalfunction. As a result, their independence level in daily life gradually decreases and, eventually, they will decline into a status of requiring long-term care.

 

There is a concept of “oral frailty” being related to “systemic frailty”.

The measurement of oral frailty can give people an early warning not to fall into the negative downward spiral as follows: neglecting slight declines in oral health and leaving those conditions untreated eventually leads to deterioration of oral function, which impairs eating function, and evetually deterioration in mental and physical health.

This decrease in oral function, so called “oral hypofunction”, should be managed by dental professionals for early detection of overall frailty. 

 

In this lecture, I will explain about the concept of frailty, oral frailty, oral hypofunction, and methods to assess oral function.

Oral function assessment methods

Abstract:
In recent years, the aging rate of Japan’s population exceeded 28%; our country has become a super aged society.

 

Recent research has revealed that oral status is related to life expectancy, and “frailty” is one of the problems we face in a super aged society. With ageing, people slowly become weak due to a gradual decline in mental and physicalfunction. As a result, their independence level in daily life gradually decreases and, eventually, they will decline into a status of requiring long-term care.

 

There is a concept of “oral frailty” being related to “systemic frailty”.

The measurement of oral frailty can give people an early warning not to fall into the negative downward spiral as follows: neglecting slight declines in oral health and leaving those conditions untreated eventually leads to deterioration of oral function, which impairs eating function, and evetually deterioration in mental and physical health.

This decrease in oral function, so called “oral hypofunction”, should be managed by dental professionals for early detection of overall frailty. 

 

In this lecture, I will explain about the concept of frailty, oral frailty, oral hypofunction, and methods to assess oral function.
