Abstract

<p>Aim: This study clarified the relationship between aspiration pneumonia and the oral health status.</p><p>Methods: A total of 809 users from Kounankai were targeted. The Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) includes eight items: lip, tongue, gingiva/mucosa, saliva, remaining teeth, dentures, oral cleaning, and toothache. Information on aspiration pneumonia was collected from each facility. A binomial logistic regression analysis was performed, with aspiration pneumonia as the objective variable and the OHAT items as explanatory variables. The analysis was performed using the R software program, version 4.0. 2, with a significance level of < 5%.</p><p>Results: No significant association was found between the development of aspiration pneumonia and the OHAT score. The proportion of males was significantly higher in the aspiration pneumonia group than in the group without pneumonia.</p><p>Conclusion: No association was found between the development of aspiration pneumonia and the OHAT score.</p>
