Abstract

The US population is at the beginning of a significant demographic shift; the American geriatric population is burgeoning, and average longevity is projected to increase in the coming years. Elder adults are affected by numerous chronic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, and cerebrovascular diseases. These older adults need special dental care and an improved understanding of the complex interactions of oral disease and systemic chronic diseases that can complicate their treatment. Oral diseases have strong associations with systemic diseases, and poor oral health can worsen the impact of systemic diseases.

摘要

美国人口正处于重大人口结构转变的初期；美国老年人口正在迅速增长，预计未来几年平均寿命还会增加。老年人受到多种慢性病的影响，如糖尿病、高血压、骨关节炎、骨质疏松症、心血管疾病和脑血管疾病。这些老年人需要特殊的口腔护理，并且需要更好地了解口腔疾病与全身性慢性病之间复杂的相互作用，这些相互作用会使他们的治疗变得复杂。口腔疾病与全身性疾病密切相关，口腔健康状况不佳会加剧全身性疾病的影响。
