Abstract

The purpose of this present study was to examine a model of the correlations between the tooth conditions, positive selfesteem, depression and state regarding going out of the elderly. We can have basic data for the construction of a community designed to prevent elderly people living in housing-development residences from dying alone by this study. The results showed that the χ2/df, CFI, and RMSEA values were 1.515, 0.956, and 0.072, respectively, indicating that the data fitted the model.<br> The path coefficients were 0.324 from the tooth condition to positive self-esteem, -0.428 from positive self-esteem to depression, -0.278 from the tooth condition to depression, and -0.267 from depression to the state regarding going out. These values verified that the tooth condition had an impact on going out while positively affecting positive self-esteem, and negatively affecting depression in the elderly.<br> As described above, this study suggested the importance of promoting oral hygiene as well as maintaining or achieving a higher positive self-esteem to prevent elderly people living in housing-development residences from dying alone.
