| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to verify the effect of meal and oral health on the systemic conditions in persons with MCI. Therefore, we examined the association between meal, oral health and the systemic conditions, such as cognitive function, nutritional status, body composition, etc., in the persons with MCI who visited the Center for Comprehensive Care and Research on Memory Disorders (Medical Center for Dementia) at the National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology, comparing with elderly persons with other dementia. As a result, we found that the factors related to appetite loss were different between AD and MCI, and depression and difficulty in maintaining attention while eating were significantly associated with poor appetite in MCI persons in cross-sectional analysis. Additionally, it was suggested that appetite loss might accelerate the decline of cognitive function in MCI persons in longitudinal analysis.
