Abstract

Background: Poor oral health is highly prevalent among elderlies and may impact quality of life of elderly people. In this scenario, oral health has been often linked to general health and chronic disorders, including distinct features of frailty. The aim of the present umbrella review of systematic reviews was to assess the scientific literature on the correlation between oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) and elderly to present a multidisciplinary approach to these complex patients.

Methods: We performed a literature search of the databases Pub-Med/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database electronic databases. Two independent reviewers performed the literature research from the inception to 25th November 2023 and screened the studies for eligibility.

Results: The search resulted in a total of 676 results eligible articles. After removal of duplicates and full-text screening, a total of 3 systematic reviews were considered to meet the inclusion criteria and were included for this review.

Conclusions: Frailty is very common in elderly such as a poor oral health. In this scenario, malnutrition and bad lifestyle habits may affect not only the determinism of many systemic non-communicable diseases but also oral health quality. Taken together, the findings of this umbrella review of systematic reviews showed a strict correlation between the frailty, typical condition of ageing people, and a poor OHRQoL. Therefore, it is mandatory to implement the oral health prevention with specific protocols of oral rehabilitation to improve the OHRQoL in elderly.

老年人与口腔健康相关的生活质量：从多学科康复的角度对系统综述进行总体回顾。

背景：口腔健康状况不佳在老年人中非常普遍，可能会影响老年人的生活质量。在这种情况下，口腔健康往往与一般健康和慢性疾病有关，包括虚弱的明显特征。本系统综述旨在评估口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）与老年人之间相关性的科学文献，为这些复杂的患者提供一种多学科方法：我们对 Pub-Med/Medline、Scopus、Web of Science 和物理治疗证据数据库等电子数据库进行了文献检索。两位独立审稿人进行了从开始到 2023 年 11 月 25 日的文献研究，并对研究进行了资格筛选：搜索结果：共搜索到 676 篇符合条件的文章。在去除重复文章和全文筛选后，共有 3 篇系统综述被认为符合纳入标准，并被纳入本次综述：虚弱在老年人中非常常见，如口腔健康不良。在这种情况下，营养不良和不良生活习惯不仅可能影响许多系统性非传染性疾病的决定因素，还可能影响口腔健康质量。综上所述，本系统综述的研究结果表明，老年人的典型症状--虚弱与口腔健康质量和生活质量低下之间存在密切联系。因此，为了改善老年人的 OHRQoL，必须通过具体的口腔康复方案来实施口腔健康预防。
