Association between Oral Frailty and Nutritional Status among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: the Takashimadaira Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesRecently, the concept of oral frailty, defined as accumulated deficits in oral health, has been introduced in Japan. However, data about its association with nutritional status are limited. Thus, this cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the association between oral frailty and malnutrition among community-dwelling older adults.
designCross-sectional study.
settingCommunity.
participantsOne thousand and fifty-four individuals (428 men and 626 women, mean age: 77.0 years) from the Takashimadaira Study. MEASUREMENTS: Based on a multifaceted oral health assessment, oral frailty was defined as greater than or equal to three of the following components: (1) low number of remaining teeth, (2) decreased masticatory performance, (3) reduced articulatory oral motor skill, (4) low tongue pressure, and difficulties in (5) eating and (6) swallowing. The nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment®-Short Form (MNA®-SF) and serum albumin. An ordinal logistic regression model was used to evaluate the association between oral frailty and nutritional status.
resultsOral frailty was observed in 217 (20.4%) participants. After adjusting for potential confounders, the participants with oral frailty had higher odds of more severe malnutrition evaluated using MNA®-SF (adjusted odds ratio: 2.17; 95% confidence interval: 1.58-2.98) and serum albumin level (adjusted odds ratio: 1.59; 95% confidence interval: 1.10-2.31).
conclusionOral frailty was associated with nutritional status among Japanese older adults. Maintaining comprehensive oral health and function may be effective for malnutrition prevention in community-dwelling older adults. However, further studies must be conducted to validate the generalizability of the results of the current study.
