本报告的目的是审查老年人口腔健康状况差与一般健康之间的相互关系。分析了口腔健康不良对生活质量（QOL）的影响，并讨论了公共卫生干预和口腔保健的意义。目前的研究结果可能会导致以下结论：现有的科学证据对于糖尿病和牙周病之间的直接关系特别有力;牙周病和心血管疾病之间的直接关系不太令人信服。口腔健康状况直接影响老年人的生活质量和生活方式。老年人人数的不断增加给大多数国家的卫生当局带来了挑战。口腔健康与一般健康关系的证据对于世卫组织在地球仪加强综合口腔健康促进和疾病预防的努力尤为重要。
The purpose of this report is to review the interrelationship between poor oral health conditions of older people and general health. The impact of poor oral health on quality of life (QOL) is analyzed, and the implications for public health intervention and oral health care are discussed. Findings from the current research may lead to the following conclusions: The available scientific evidence is particularly strong for a direct relationship between diabetes and periodontal disease; the direct relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease is less convincing. General and associated oral health conditions have a direct influence on elder people's QOL and lifestyle. The growing number of elderly people challenges health authorities in most countries. The evidence on oral health-general health relationships is particularly important to WHO in its effort to strengthen integrated oral health promotion and disease prevention around the globe.
