Poor oral function is associated with loss of independence or death in functionally independent older adults.

<h4>Aim</h4>To clarify the association of poor oral function with loss of independence (LOI) or death in functionally independent older adults in the community.<h4>Methods</h4>We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a prospective cohort study in two municipalities in J...
