Unique lifestyle and cultural factors in China may lead to distinct patterns of risk factors for oral frailty among older adults, especially in regions inhabited by northeastern border minority groups.
From July to November 2023, a convenience sampling method was employed to select older adults from three communities in Yanji City as the subjects. Data were collected by a set of questionnaires.
A total of 478 older adults were included, revealing a prevalence rate of 71.6 % for oral frailty. Factors influencing were found to include age, ethnicity, gender, income, number of chronic diseases, body mass index, drinking, physical frailty, sleep disorders, and attitudes towards aging (p < 0.05).
There is a higher prevalence of oral frailty. It is crucial to prioritize the oral health issues of older adults with high-risk factors and implement targeted intervention measures to reduce and control the occurrence and progression of oral frailty.
中国独特的生活方式和文化因素可能导致老年人口腔脆弱风险因素的不同模式，特别是在东北边境少数民族居住地区。
2023年7月至11月，采用便利抽样法从延吉市三个社区选取老年人作为研究对象。通过一套问卷收集数据。
共纳入478名老年人，口腔脆弱患病率为71.6%。发现影响因素包括年龄、民族、性别、收入、慢性病数量、体重指数、饮酒、身体虚弱、睡眠障碍和对衰老的态度（p<0.05）。
口腔脆弱的患病率较高。优先关注具有高危因素的老年人的口腔健康问题，并采取针对性干预措施以减少和控制口腔脆弱的发生和发展至关重要。
