Medical study: Dental disease, increases the risk of men suffering from weak body and malnutrition.
A recent American study reported that dental diseases, most notably gum disease, decay and dry understanding, increase the risk of men suffering from weak body and malnutrition.
The study was conducted by researchers at the American Geriatrics Society, and their results were published in the latest issue of the American Geriatrics Society.
The researchers previously considered that dental health is a sign of good health, as a previous Japanese study linked the loss of more teeth and an increased risk of dementia among the elderly, while another study reported that people with gum infections and bleeding teeth are more at risk. heart disease
In the new study, the researchers focused on monitoring the impact of dental health on the body and the extent of its weakness. For 3 years, researchers monitored 7,735 men in Britain, whose ages ranged from 40 to 59 years.
The researchers examined the participants’ teeth, and their exposure to diseases such as tooth loss, gum disease, tooth decay, and dry mouth.
The researchers tested the effect of teeth on the body’s weakness, which is represented by fatigue, weak grip strength, slow walking speed, weight loss, or low levels of physical activity. The researchers found that dental disease negatively affects the strength of the body, especially in the elderly, as it makes it difficult to eat and swallow food, speak, get adequate nutrition, and even smile.
The researchers said that men who suffer from dental problems are more likely to weaken the body than others, as this affected their movement and daily life, and their ability to perform their usual activities.
They added that these results highlight the importance of oral health, especially for the elderly, to become more bearable and to function well.
