Role of Posterior Occlusal Support in the Development of Frailty Among Japanese Adults
No Cost Sharing for Public Assistance Recipients and Health Service Usage in Japan
This study found that eliminating cost sharing under a PA system was associated with increased outpatient health service use, particularly for dental care. These findings highlight financial barriers to care among low-income populations and suggest that no cost-sharing policies can improve access but may require policy measures to address overuse
The association between objective and subjective oral health conditions and the presence of anorexia of aging among Japanese older Adults1
Anorexia of aging is a risk factor for malnutrition among older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the association between objective and subjective oral health and anorexia among independent older adults. This cross-sectional study targeted independent older adults aged ≥65 years who participated in the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study conducted in 2022. The outcome variable was the presence of anorexia, as assessed by the Simplified Nutri…
Exposure to household dysfunction at childhood and later number of teeth among older Japanese adults
An exposure to a household dysfunction at childhood was associated with having fewer teeth in later life among men but not among women
Associations between vision, hearing and tooth loss and social interactions
Background Difficulties in communication due to vision, hearing and tooth loss have a serious impact on health. We compared the association between and attribution of each of these factors on social interaction. Methods This cross-sectional study examined data from the 2016 Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (n=22 295) on community-dwelling people aged ≥65 years in Japan. The dependent variable was the frequency of meeting friends as a measure…
Examining the associations between oral health and social isolation
In Western countries, the most important part of the face in communication is the mouth, whereas it is the eyes in Asian countries; thus oral health could be more important in social interactions in Western countries. Our aim was to examine differences in the association between oral health status and social isolation among older people by comparing Japan and England. We used cross-sectional information obtained from adults aged 65+ in two ongoin…
Importance of socioeconomic factors in predicting tooth loss among older adults in Japan
Majority of New Onset of Dental Caries Occurred from Caries-Free Students
We examined Rose's axiom that a large number of people exposed to a small risk may generate more cases than a small number exposed to a high risk, using data on caries incidence. This longitudinal study was based on the records of annual dental checks conducted in primary schools in Okinawa, Japan. Participants were students aged 6-11 years at baseline in 2014, and a follow-up survey was conducted after one-year. The outcome variable was the incr…
Wider Dental Care Coverage Associated with Lower Oral Health Inequalities
Countries with different oral health care systems may have different levels of oral health related inequalities. We compared the socioeconomic inequalities in oral health among older adults in Japan and England. We used the data for adults aged 65 years or over from Japan ( N = 79,707) and England ( N = 5115) and estimated absolute inequality (the Slope Index of Inequality, SII) and relative inequality (the Relative Index of Inequality, RII) for …
Generalized and particularized trust for health between urban and rural residents in Japan
Predictors of decline in Iadl functioning among older survivors following the Great East Japan earthquake
Do community- and individual-level social relationships contribute to the mental health of disaster survivors
Predictors of depressive symptoms following the Great East Japan earthquake
Does social capital affect the incidence of functional disability in older Japanese? A prospective population-based cohort study
BACKGROUND: Recent increases in numbers of older people have been accompanied by increases in those with functional disability. No study has examined the association between community social capital and the onset of functional disability. METHODS: The association between community social capital and the onset of functional disability was examined using data from the Aichi Gerontological Evaluation Study, a prospective cohort established in 2003 i…
