The mouths of older Australians now are very different to those of previous generations. The prevalence of complete tooth loss is declining rapidly and this has enormous implications for dental services. This study will use the established Concord Health and Ageing in Men Project (CHAMP) as a platform to conduct a study of oral health and oral health service use in 800 older men. A major focus of the study will be the inter-relationships between oral health and physical and mental health.

现在澳大利亚老年人的嘴与前几代人的嘴有很大不同。牙齿完全脱落的患病率正在迅速下降，这对牙科服务产生了巨大的影响。这项研究将使用已建立的男性健康与老龄化项目（CHAMP）作为平台，对800名老年男性进行口腔健康和口腔健康服务使用的研究。这项研究的重点是口腔健康与身心健康之间的相互关系。
