Oral health and all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory mortality in older people in the UK and USA
Abstract Preventing deterioration of oral health in older age can be crucial for survival. We aimed to examine associations of oral health problems with all-cause, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and respiratory mortality in older people. We used cohort data from the British Regional Health Study (BRH...
