华东地区是中国综合发展水平最高的经济区域,人口占全国总人口的30%,老年人口占比高于全国平均水平,人口老龄化趋势明显。该区老年人口腔健康状况较差,这不仅影响老年人的生活质量,还对老年人全身健康具有较大的影响。老年人龋病、牙周疾病、牙齿缺失等情况均较青年人严重,他们是对口腔保健要求更高的群体。拥有良好的口腔卫生保健习惯是老年人预防口腔疾病的重要措施。
<<East China is one of the regions with the fastest economic development in China,accounting for 30% of the total population of the country. The proportion of the elderly population is higher than the national average,and the population aging trend is obvious. The oral health of the elderly in this area is poor,which not only affects the quality of life of the elderly,but also has a great impact on the overall health of the elderly. The elderly have more serious caries,periodontal disease and tooth loss than the young people,and they have higher requirements for oral health care. Having good oral health care habits is an important measure to prevent oral diseases.
