概括
比利时弗兰德斯的许多老年人口腔健康状况不佳,原因是牙医的出勤率很低. 这项研究显示,超过三分之一的老年人没有去看牙医,这凸显了改善预防性口腔护理策略的必要性.
科学领域:
- 老年学是一门学科.
- 牙科公共卫生 公共卫生
- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 糟糕的口腔健康,包括牙和牙周病,显著影响整体健康和生活质量,特别是在老年人中.
- 老龄化增加了对口腔疾病的易感性,但在这个人口群体中,牙医出勤率仍然很低.
- 了解牙科使用模式对于解决老年人口腔健康差异至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 描述和分析比利时弗兰德斯65岁及以上的成年人牙科使用模式.
- 在这个人口群体中确定与牙科护理获取和使用不同水平相关的因素.
- 为旨在改善老年人口腔保健的公共卫生倡议提供信息.
主要方法:
- 一项描述性研究分析了来自弗兰德斯的两个主要比利时医疗保险基金的911,159名65岁以上的个人数据.
- 描述性和两种类型的分析检查了牙科使用模式,考虑了社会人口因素,护理依赖性和口腔状态.
- 奇平方测试和克拉梅尔V测试用于统计分析,以确定效应大小.
主要成果:
- 在2020-2022年期间,只有36.8%的老年人定期接受预防性牙科护理,37.0%没有口腔健康接触,21.9%只接受治疗性护理.
- 较低的预防性护理利用率在老年人,补偿金增加的人,长期护理居民,家庭护理接收者和牙无牙个体中被注意到.
- 在老年人群的不同小组中观察到牙科护理模式的显著差异.
结论:
- 佛兰德斯的大量老年人没有定期去看牙医或预防性口腔护理.
- 确定利用率较低的特定子组是针对性干预的关键.
- 建议对健康促进和专业间合作进行进一步的研究,以加强老年人预防性口腔护理的普及.

Teeth
1.6K
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age
180
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Excretion
223
In geriatric patients, renal physiology undergoes significant changes, including diminished renal blood flow and a lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR), leading to alterations in medication clearance. Drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, lithium, and digoxin, which rely on glomerular filtration for removal from the body, particularly impact pharmacokinetics. These drugs tend to have slower clearance rates in older adults, necessitating careful dosage considerations.Evaluation of renal...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption
212
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients
214
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...
