| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今後、超高齢社会を迎えるにあたり、医療費のひっ迫を避けるには健康寿命の延伸は必須であると考えられる。そのためには、食の大切さはサルコぺニアのみならずオーラルフレイルにならないために実情をさらに知るべきではないかと考えていた。その結果、我々は、無歯顎者の食事摂取状況と総義歯との関係、無歯顎患者の心身及び身体機能の現状を把握することにより、健康寿命の延伸のために我々歯科医療従事者のすべきことはなにか、本研究で自身で歯科治療を受診する意思のある元気な高齢者のモチベーションを下げないことは非常に重要であり、総義歯のために食事摂取が困難である高齢者を一人でも減らすことを考えていかねばならない
