Intervention study for prevention of oral frailty - Intervention for oral frailty

Oral function was evaluated using ROAG, which consists of voice, swallowing, lips, teeth and dentures, mucosa, gingiva, tongue, and saliva. A smaller total score for the 8 items indicates better oral function. For the analysis, a score of 8 or less indicated good oral function, and a score of 9 or more indicated poor oral function. The results showed that the group with good oral function had a good level of independence in daily living and cognitive independence.
