NCHS Data Brief. 2024 Apr(500):1-9.
Oral health is associated with overall health, especially in older adults (age 65 and older). Chronic conditions in older adults may affect oral health, and poor oral health may increase the risk of certain chronic conditions (1-3). Poor oral health has also been associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk (4). Several factors, including chronic conditions, health status, race, and income have been associated with reduced dental care use among older adults (5-9). This report describes the percentage of older adults who had a dental visit in the past 12 months by selected sociodemographic characteristics and chronic conditions using the 2022 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). .
口腔健康与整体健康相关，尤其是在老年人（65 岁及以上）中。老年人的慢性疾病可能会影响口腔健康，而口腔健康状况不佳可能会增加某些慢性疾病的风险 (1-3)。口腔健康状况不佳也与心血管疾病风险增加有关 (4)。包括慢性疾病、健康状况、种族和收入在内的多个因素与老年人接受牙科护理的减少有关 (5-9)。本报告描述了 2022 年全国健康访谈调查 (NHIS) 中，按选定的社会人口特征和慢性疾病划分的，在过去 12 个月内接受过牙科检查的老年人的比例。
