Association between dentition status and frailty: Findings from NHANES 2011-2018
Key Points
This research aims to explore the link between dentition status and frailty in various age groups and identify the impact of dietary intake.
Analyzed data from NHANES 2011-2018
Assessed dentition status and frailty indicators
Evaluated dietary intake across different age groups
Found that poor dentition is linked to higher levels of frailty
Indicated that dietary intake may mitigate frailty risks
Highlighted differences in association based on age groups
Abstract
Purpose: To examine the association between dentition status and frailty across different age groups, and explore the mitigating role of dietary intake.
