Examine the association of oral disease with future dementia/cognitive decline in a cohort of people with type 2 diabetes.
A total of 11,140 men and women aged 55-88 years at study induction with type 2 diabetes participated in a baseline medical examination when they reported the number of natural teeth and days of bleeding gums. Dementia and cognitive decline were ascertained periodically during a 5-year follow-up.
Relative to the group with the greatest number of teeth (more than or equal to 22), having no teeth was associated with the highest risk of both dementia (hazard ratio; 95% confidence interval: 1.48; 1.24, 1.78) and cognitive decline (1.39; 1.21, 1.59). Number of days of bleeding gums was unrelated to these outcomes.
Tooth loss was associated with an increased risk of both dementia and cognitive decline.
在 2 型糖尿病患者队列中,研究口腔疾病与未来痴呆/认知能力下降的关系。
共有 11140 名年龄在 55-88 岁的男性和女性在研究开始时患有 2 型糖尿病,他们在基线体检时报告了天然牙齿的数量和牙龈出血的天数。在 5 年的随访期间,定期确定痴呆和认知能力下降的情况。
与牙齿数量最多(大于或等于 22 颗)的组相比,无牙与痴呆(风险比;95%置信区间:1.48;1.24,1.78)和认知能力下降(1.39;1.21,1.59)的风险最高相关。牙龈出血天数与这些结果无关。
牙齿缺失与痴呆和认知能力下降的风险增加有关。
