BACKGROUND: Poor oral health can lead to poor general health. We hypothesized that poor oral health might be a factor that attenuates the effect of rehabilitation in older patients with fractures.OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between oral health in elderly patients with fractures and improvement in activities of daily living (ADL) through rehabilitation. In addition, we assessed factors associated with ADL improvement among older patients with fractures.METHODS: This case-control study was conducted at a rehabilitation hospital among 178 men aged >= 65 years who underwent fracture rehabilitation. Patients were divided into two groups based on the oral health assessment tool (OHAT) score on admission (>= 4 and = 4 (26.2 +/- 17.5) than that in group with OHAT score
