OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine risk factors for @entity2524 and @entity5386 in institutionalised elderly @entity1 . DESIGN: Six-year prospective cohort study. SETTING: Twenty nine of the 30 institutions for elderly @entity1 in Kitakyushu, Japan. SUBJECTS: Four hundred and eighteen of the 1,096 subjects who were dentate at the baseline examination. OUTCOME MEASURES: Factors that influenced @entity2524 and @entity5386 . RESULTS: In both sexes, older subjects had fewer remaining teeth at baseline. Males lost more teeth than females, and @entity5386 was also more likely in males than in females. Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis showed that the number of teeth, number of @entity1547 , @entity6885 , and plaque index were significant predictors for the number of teeth lost. The incidence of @entity5386 was higher in males than in females. Stepwise multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that poorer mental health status, fewer teeth, having deep periodontal pocket, and poorer oral hygiene status were independently associated with the six-year incidence of @entity5386 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity2524 in institutionalised elderly @entity1 in Japan is related to both poor oral health status and poor mental health status.
