Abstract

Cognitive impairment and poor oral health are common problems in older adults and are associated with malnutrition. However, it is unclear how they are related to cachexia in community-dwelling older adults. The aim of this study was to examine the relationships among cachexia, cognitive function, and oral health in community-dwelling older adults.
