Association between number of remaining teeth and healthy aging in Japanese older people: The Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

Maintaining ≥20 teeth is a public health goal worldwide. Healthy aging, which includes psychological and social well-being, as well as physical indicators, has attracted a great deal of attention with the progression of aging societies. However, no studies have examined the association between the number of remaining teeth and healthy aging. This study aimed to investigate the association between the number of remaining teeth and healthy aging.

Methods

This community-based longitudinal cohort study included 8300 Japanese people aged ≥65 years who were free of disability and depression in the baseline survey in 2006. The participants were categorized into four groups according to the number of remaining teeth at baseline: 0-9, 10-19, 20-24 and ≥25. The primary outcome was healthy aging (defined as meeting all four of the following criteria: free of disability, free of depression, high health-related quality of life and high life satisfaction), as assessed by a questionnaire survey carried out in 2017. Multiple logistic regression was used to calculate the corresponding odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals.

Results

During about 11 years of follow-up, 621 (7.5%) participants attained healthy aging. Participants with ≥20 remaining teeth showed a higher healthy aging rate. Compared with participants with 0-9 teeth, the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for 10-19, 20-24 and ≥25 teeth were 0.98 (0.77-1.26), 1.28 (1.01-1.63) and 1.59 (1.24-2.03), respectively.

Conclusions

These findings suggest that maintaining ≥20 teeth was associated with healthy aging. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2022; 22: 68-74.

Association between procrastination in childhood and the number of remaining teeth in Japanese older adults.

Project description:BackgroundProcrastination is associated with stress and unhealthy behaviors. The oral condition reflects the long-term history of an individual's stress exposure and oral health behaviors; however, empirical studies on the association of procrastination in childhood with remaining teeth in older age are limited. We investigated the association of procrastination in childhood with the number of remaining teeth among community-dwelling older Japanese adults.MethodsIn total, 1616 community-dwelling senior residents of Wakuya City (Miyagi Prefecture, Japan) who were enrolled in the National Health Plan & the Medical Care System for the Elderly completed a self-administered questionnaire on the number of teeth. Procrastination was measured using a single binary question about timing of holiday homework completion in childhood. The number of remaining teeth was assessed via a questionnaire with response options of ≥20, 10-19, 1-9, and 0 teeth. Ordered logistic regression models with potential confounders (sex, age, maternal education, childhood socioeconomic status (SES), childhood maltreatment, conscientiousness trait) and mediators (adulthood SES, smoking history, alcohol use history) were estimated.ResultsForty-six percent of participants reported a higher tendency to procrastinate in childhood. The proportions of participants with ≥20, 10-19, 1-9, and 0 teeth were 39.6, 22.7, 24.0, and 13.7%, respectively. After adjusting for all covariates, a higher tendency to procrastinate in childhood was significantly associated with having fewer remaining teeth (odds ratio = 1.28; 95% confidence interval = 1.05-1.57).ConclusionA higher tendency to procrastinate in childhood was associated with having fewer remaining teeth in later life.

Association between social participation and disability-free life expectancy in Japanese older people: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough social participation has been reported to be associated with significantly lower risks of mortality and disability, to our knowledge, no study has estimated its impact on disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between social participation and DFLE in community-dwelling older people.MethodsWe analyzed 11-year follow-up data from a cohort study of 11,982 Japanese older adults (age ≥65 years) in 2006. We collected information on the number of social participation using a questionnaire. Using this information, we categorized the participants into four groups. DFLE was defined as the average number of years a person could expect to live without disability. The multistate life table method using Markov model was employed for calculating DFLE.ResultsThe results revealed that DFLE (95% confidence interval) according to the number of social participation was 17.8 years (17.3-18.2) for no activities, 20.9 (20.4-21.5) for one activity, 21.5 (20.9-22.0) for two activities, and 22.7 (22.1-23.2) for three activities in men, and 21.8 (21.5-22.2), 25.1 (24.6-25.6), 25.3 (24.7-25.9), and 26.7 years (26.1-27.4), respectively, in women. This difference in DFLE did not change after the participants were stratified for smoking, body mass index, physical activity, and depression.ConclusionsSocial participation is associated with longer DFLE among Japanese older people; therefore, encouraging social participation at the population level could increase life-years lived in good health.

Smoking cessation and incident dementia in elderly Japanese: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:To investigate the association of smoking status and years since smoking cessation with the risk of incident dementia among elderly Japanese. We conducted a longitudinal analysis of smoking status and smoking cessation with dementia in prospective cohort study of 12,489 Japanese individuals aged ≥ 65 years who were followed up for 5.7 years. Information on smoking status and other lifestyle factors was collected via a questionnaire in 2006. Data on incident dementia were retrieved from the public Long-term Care Insurance Database. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the multivariable-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for incident dementia. During 61,613 person-years of follow-up, 1110 cases (8.9%) of incident dementia were documented. Compared with individuals who had never smoked, current smokers showed a higher risk of dementia (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.17, 1.80). Among ex-smokers, the risk for those who had stopped smoking for ≤ 2 years was still high (HR 1.39, 95% CI 0.96, 2.01), however, quitting smoking for 3 years or longer mitigated the increased risk incurred by smokers; the multivariable HRs (95% CIs) were 1.03 (0.70, 1.53) for those who had stopped smoking for 3-5 years, 1.04 (0.74, 1.45) for 6-10 years, 1.19 (0.84, 1.69) for 11-15 years, and 0.92 (0.73, 1.15) for > 15 years. Our study suggests that the risk of incident dementia among ex-smokers becomes the same level as that of never smokers if they maintain abstinence from smoking for at least 3 years.

Education level and incident functional disability in elderly Japanese: The Ohsaki Cohort 2006 study.

Project description:As the factors that link education level with incident functional disability in elderly Japanese have never been investigated, the present study investigated this issue in an elderly Japanese population. A 9-year prospective cohort study (2006-2015) was conducted among 8,680 Japanese individuals (≥65 years), Ohsaki city, Japan. In a baseline survey, we collected data on education level and potential mediators. Data on incident functional disability were retrieved from the Long-term Care Insurance database. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for incident functional disability by education level (below upper-secondary education (reference), and upper secondary education and above). Mediating effects were estimated using accelerated failure time model and a logistic regression model. During 9-year follow-up period, 2,742 cases (31.6%) of incident functional disability were observed, and education level showed an inverse association with functional disability (P for trend <0.01). Participation in community activities had the largest mediating effect (34.7%) on the relationship between education level and incident functional disability. This effect remained among those aged 65-74 years (19.9%) but became negligible among those aged ≥75 years. Other potential mediators (such as smoking and drinking status) were also tested, but these showed only small mediating effects. The inverse association between education level and the incident risk of functional disability appears to be largely mediated by participation in community activities among elderly Japanese, especially those aged 65-74 years.

Combined Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors and Disability-Free Survival: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Previous studies have suggested that a healthy lifestyle (HL) may prolong the years of life spent in good health. However, the impact of HL on disability-free survival (DFS) among the elderly is still uncertain. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between HL and DFS in the general elderly population. DESIGN:Prospective cohort study with a 10-year follow-up (2006-2016). PARTICIPANTS:9910 community-dwelling elderly people (??65 years). MAIN MEASURES:A HL index derived by summing the number of HL behaviors. Data on incident disability were retrieved from the public Long-term Care Insurance database. Multivariate-adjusted 50th percentile differences (PDs) in age at disability or death (months) and their 95% CIs were estimated with the Laplace regression model. KEY RESULTS:During the 10 years, 4562 disability or death events occurred. Participants who adhered to all three HL behaviors lived 17.1 (95% CI 12.7, 21.5) months longer without disability than those who adhered to zero or one. Each 1-point increase of the index score conferred 8.8 months additional life without disability. The tendency for the 50th PDs to increase with a higher HL index score did not differ according to age (<?75 or ??75 years), sex, or the presence of chronic conditions (none, or ??1 chronic condition). CONCLUSIONS:A combination of HL behaviors may substantially increase DFS, even for late-elderly (??75 years), or elderly people with chronic conditions.

Association between the number of remaining teeth and disability-free life expectancy, and the impact of oral self-care in older Japanese adults: a prospective cohort study.

Project description:BackgroundTooth loss has been reportedly associated with shorter disability-free life expectancy (DFLE). However, no study has explored whether oral self-care offsets reduction in DFLE. The present study aimed to assess the association between oral self-care and DFLE in older individuals with tooth loss.MethodsData on the 13-year follow-up from a cohort study of 14,206 older Japanese adults aged ≥ 65 years in 2006 were analyzed. Information on the number of remaining teeth was collected using a questionnaire, and the participants were then categorized into three groups (0-9, 10-19, and ≥ 20 teeth). Additionally, "0-9" and "10-19" groups were divided into two subgroups based on whether they practiced oral self-care. DFLE was defined as the average number of years a person could expect to live without disability, and was calculated by the multistate life table method based on a Markov model.ResultsDFLE (95% confidence interval) was 19.0 years (18.7-19.4) for 0-9 teeth, 20.1 (19.7-20.5) for 10-19 teeth, and 21.6 (21.2-21.9) for ≥ 20 teeth for men. For women, DFLE was 22.6 (22.3-22.9), 23.5 (23.1-23.8), and 24.7 (24.3-25.1), respectively. Practicing oral self-care was associated with longer DFLE, by 1.6-1.9 years with brushing ≥ 2 times a day in people with 0-9 and 10-19 teeth, and by 3.0-3.1 years with the use of dentures in those with 0-9 teeth.ConclusionsPracticing oral self-care is associated with an increase in DFLE in older people with tooth loss.

Impact of oral self-care on incident functional disability in elderly Japanese: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 study.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess whether oral self-care (tooth brushing, regular dental visits and use of dentures) affects incident functional disability in elderly individuals with tooth loss.DesignA 5.7-year prospective cohort study.SettingOhsaki City, Japan.Participants12?370 community-dwelling individuals aged 65 years and older.Primary outcome measuresIncident functional disability (new long-term care insurance certification).ResultsThe 5.7-year incidence rate of disability was 18.8%. In comparison with participants who had ?20 teeth, the HRs (95% CIs) for incident functional disability among participants who had 10-19 and 0-9 teeth were 1.15 (1.01-1.30) and 1.20 (1.07-1.34), respectively (p trend<0.05). However, the corresponding values for those who brushed their teeth ?2 times per day were not significantly higher in the '10-19 teeth' and '0-9 teeth' groups (HRs (95%?CI) 1.05 (0.91-1.21) for participants with 10-19 teeth, and 1.09 (0.96-1.23) for participants with 0-9 teeth), although HRs for those who brushed their teeth <2 times per day were significantly higher (HRs (95%?CI) 1.32 (1.12-1.55) for participants with 10-19 teeth, and 1.33 (1.17-1.51) for participants with 0-9 teeth). Such a negating association was not observed for other forms of oral self-care.ConclusionsTooth brushing may partially negate the increased risk of incident functional disability associated with having fewer remaining teeth.

Body mass index and the risk of incident functional disability in elderly Japanese: The OHSAKI Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:The relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and the incidence of cause-specific disability remains unclear.We conducted a prospective cohort study of 12,376 Japanese individuals aged ≥65 years who were followed up for 5.7 years. Information on BMI and other lifestyle factors was collected via a questionnaire in 2006. Functional disability data were retrieved from the public Long-term Care Insurance database. BMI was divided into 6 groups (<21, 21-<23, 23-<25, 25-<27[reference], 27-<29 and ≥29). Hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for cause-specific disability were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.A U-shaped relationship between BMI and functional disability was observed, with a nadir at 26. The nadir BMI values with the lowest disability risk were 28 for dementia, 25 for stroke, and 23 for joint disease. A low BMI (<23) was a risk factor for disability due to dementia, the HR values (95% CI) being 2.48 (1.70-3.63) for BMI <21 and 2.25 (1.54-3.27) for BMI 21 to <23; a high BMI (≥29) was a risk factor for disability due to joint disease, the HR value (95% CI) being 2.17 (1.40-3.35). There was no significant relationship between BMI and disability due to stroke.The BMI nadirs for cause-specific disability differed: a low BMI (<23) was a risk factor for disability due to dementia, and a high BMI (≥29) was a risk factor for disability due to joint disease. Because BMI values of 23 to <29 did not pose a significantly higher risk for each cause of disability, this range should be regarded as the optimal one for the elderly population.

Changes in sleep duration and the risk of incident dementia in the elderly Japanese: the Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:Study objectivesTo examine the association between changes in sleep duration and the risk of incident dementia in the elderly.MethodsIn 2006, we conducted a cohort study of 7422 disability-free Japanese individuals aged ≥65 years who lived in Ohsaki City, Japan. In both 1994 and 2006, the individual amount of sleep obtained was assessed using a self-reported questionnaire. Based on sleep duration at these two time points, participants were categorized into five groups according to the change in sleep duration. Data on incident dementia were retrieved from the public Long-term Care Insurance database, and the subjects were followed up for 5.7 years (between April 2007 and November 2012). The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for incident dementia.ResultsDuring 36338 person-years of follow up, 688 cases of incident dementia were documented. Compared with subjects who had no change in sleep duration, the multivariate HRs (95% CIs) of incident dementia were 1.31 (1.07 to 1.60) for those whose sleep duration increased by 1 hr, and 2.01 (1.51 to 2.69) for an increase of ≥2 hr.ConclusionsIncreased sleep duration is associated with a significantly higher risk of incident dementia in the elderly. Future studies using well-validated measurements are needed to confirm the association between sleep and dementia.

Spouse's functional disability and mortality: The Ohsaki Cohort 2006 Study.

Project description:AIM:Caregiver burden is known to negatively affect a partner's health. Given the important role of physical and mental stress in mortality, a higher caregiver burden might be associated with an increased incidence of fatal events. However, previous studies of the effects of the partner's caregiving on mortality have shown inconsistent results. Thus, the purpose of the present longitudinal study was to determine if there is an association between a spouse's functional disability and mortality in the older Japanese population. METHODS:A baseline survey was carried out with 7598 participants in 2006. Information on the date of functional disability, death or emigration was retrieved from the Ohsaki City government. Functional disability was defined as receiving a certification for long-term care insurance in Japan. After a follow-up period of a maximum of 87?months, 1316 of the participants died and Cox regression analysis with adjustment for confounding factors was used to assess mortality after the incidence of functional disability in a spouse. RESULTS:The multivariate adjusted hazard ratio for mortality was 1.78 (95% confidence interval 1.52-2.08, P?<?0.01) in those whose spouses had functional disabilities compared with those with spouses who did not have functional disabilities. The mortality was consistently higher, irrespective of age group or sex. CONCLUSIONS:These results imply that caregiver burden might increase stress responses and lead to increased mortality; therefore, enhancement of support systems, including long-term care, housing and livelihood support services, for those with disability and their spouses might be important for preventing deaths.
