目的：本研究的目的是分析参加当地政府组织的口腔功能改善项目的高危老年人口腔功能和环境的改善情况。方法：参与者包括 36 名高危老年人，平均年龄为 77.11 +/- 7.24 岁。该计划包括每 23 周进行五到六次培训，为期 3 个月。在项目之前和之后评估口腔功能和环境。研究时间从2008年延长至2010年。结果：在高危老年人的口腔接力运动评分中，干预效果明显。干预前重复唾液吞咽测试（RSST）和口腔介电运动评分较低的人表现出更大改善的趋势。唾液分泌或变形链球菌、乳杆菌、念珠菌或总微生物的总量没有观察到显着变化。结论：在口腔介电运动方面，干预的效果得到了明确的认可。干预前关节数量较少的人的 RSST 和口腔联动运动评分明显改善。老年老年国际 2013； 13：451457。
Aim: The purpose of this study was to analyze the improvement in oral function and environment in high-risk elderly persons participating in a program to improve oral function organized by their local government. Methods: Participants comprised 36 high-risk elderly and the mean age was 77.11 +/- 7.24years. The program involved training sessions carried out five or six times every 23weeks for 3months. Oral function and environment was evaluated before and after the program. The research period extended from 2008 to 2010. Results: The effects of intervention were clearly observed in oral diadochokinesis score in the high-risk elderly. Persons with a lower repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST) and oral diadochokinesis score before intervention showed a tendency toward even greater improvement. No significant changes were observed in saliva secretion or total amounts of Streptococcusmutans, Lactobacilli, Candida or total microorganisms. Conclusions: The effects of intervention were clearly recognized in regards to oral diadochokinesis. Improvement in RSST and oral diadochokinesis scores was marked in those persons showing a lower number of articulations before intervention. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2013; 13: 451457.
