Abstract:

Objective To investigate the current situation of oral frailty in the community elderly and analyze its influencing factors. Methods From March to June 2022，a total of 204 elderly people in 3 communities in Hangzhou were selected as the research subjects by convenience sampling. Oral Frailty Index-8，FRAIL Scale，Oral Health Assessment Scale and Mini-Nutritional Assessment Short Form were used for investigation. Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of oral frailty in the elderly. Results The prevalence of oral frailty was 33.8%. Age，gender，education level，polypharmacy，physical frailty，number of dentures，dry mouth，subjective masticatory difficulty，and oral health were the influencing factors of oral frailty elderly in the community （P<0.05）.

摘要：

目的 调查社区老年人口腔衰弱的现状，并分析其影响因素。 方法 2022年3月—6月，采用便利抽样法，选取杭州市3个社区204名老年人作为调查对象，应用口腔衰弱指数-8、衰弱量表、口腔健康评估量表、微型营养评价简表进行调查。采用Logistic回归分析老年人口腔衰弱的影响因素。 结果 社区老年人口腔衰弱发生率为33.8%，年龄、性别、文化程度、多重用药、身体衰弱、义齿数量、口干、主观咀嚼困难、口腔健康评分是社区老年人口腔衰弱的影响因素（P<0.05）。 结论 社区老年人口腔衰弱发生率较高，高龄、女性、文化程度低、多重用药、身体衰弱、有义齿、口腔健康情况差的老年人发生口腔衰弱的风险较高。护理人员应关注社区老年人口腔衰弱问题，及时采取针对性的干预措施，减少和控制口腔衰弱的发生和发展。
