Crews JE, et al. - Among 12,090 adults aged 40 years and older with and without vision impairment, researchers used publicly available data from the Oral Health Module, last administered in 2008, of the National Health Interview Survey, to analyze self-reported oral health. Data reported that 12.8% of adults between the ages of 40 and 64 reported vision impairment and 44.5% reported a fair/poor oral health status and 47.2% reported any mouth problems (mouth sores, difficulty eating, dry mouth, bad breath, and/or jaw pain). Compared with people without vision impairment, adults aged 40-64 years with vision impairment documented 90%-150% greater odds of oral health problems, involving fair/poor oral health status, mouth problems, and teeth problems (toothache; broken/missing fillings or teeth; loose, crooked, or stained teeth; and/or bleeding gums). The authors concluded that disparities in oral health occur among adults with and without vision impairment. In this vulnerable population, targeted interventions are needed to improve oral health.
