Malnutrition in older adults is a common problem leading to negative clinical outcomes and increased health care costs. As the population group of older adults is growing, malnutrition in older adults becomes an important public health issue. The origin of malnutrition is multifactorial and can be influenced by health-related, psychological or socio-economic factors. One potentially modifiable risk factor is the oral health status. Research has shown an association between oral factors and malnutrition. However, most of the studies were cross-sectional, investigated mainly single aspects of oral function, were mostly performed in institutional settings, and were often conducted in Asia and other emerging countries, limiting the transferability to the situation in Europe. Therefore, the aims of this project are (a) to investigate the relationship between different measures of oral health status and incident malnutrition after nine years in community-dwelling older adults and (b) to analyze the association between changes in oral health and nutritional status over the follow-up period. The Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) is a population-based longitudinal trial that applied adequate sampling procedures making the sample representative for older adults living in the Netherlands. For this project the data of the LASA Lifestyle Study in 2007 (n=1,054) and the LASA wave of 2015/16 will be used as these investigations include comprehensive information on oral health status and nutritional status. To answer the research questions secondary data analyses will be conducted using multivariate statistical approaches.

老年人营养不良是导致负面临床结果和增加医疗保健费用的常见问题。随着老年人口数量不断增加，老年人营养不良成为重要的公共卫生问题。营养不良的根源是多因素的，可能受到健康相关、心理或社会经济因素的影响。一种潜在的可改变的危险因素是口腔健康状况。研究表明口腔因素与营养不良之间存在关联。然而，大多数研究都是横断面的，主要调查口腔功能的单一方面，大多在机构环境中进行，并且经常在亚洲和其他新兴国家进行，限制了欧洲情况的可移植性。因此，该项目的目的是（a）调查社区居住老年人九年后不同的口腔健康状况指标与营养不良事件之间的关系，以及（b）分析随访期间口腔健康变化与营养状况之间的关联。阿姆斯特丹纵向老龄化研究 (LASA) 是一项基于人群的纵向试验，采用适当的抽样程序，使样本能够代表居住在荷兰的老年人。本项目将使用 2007 年 LASA 生活方式研究（n=1,054）和 2015/2016 年 LASA 波的数据，因为这些调查包括口腔健康状况和营养状况的综合信息。为了回答研究问题，将使用多元统计方法进行二次数据分析。
