| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is guessed that dental occlusion and a masticatory function play an extremely important role to bring health and longevity. In this study, we conducted a cohort study for 15 years among elderly people of an average of approximately 65 years old to examine change general health and disease, oral health and oral function.
The average of teeth loss was 3. The occlusal force decreased significantly in 15 years. Oral dysfunction at baseline was significantly associated with the onset of heart disease after 15 years.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究の結果、口腔機能の不良は長期的に全身疾患の発症に関連することが明らかとなった。
口腔機能の維持が健康寿命の延伸につながることや、口腔機能の低下が全身疾患の罹患を招くことが示唆され、高齢者における歯や口腔機能を維持することで、医療費および社会費用の削減につながる可能性が示された。この結果は、医療関係者のみならず、日本国民へと広く影響を及ぼすことができると考えられる。
