Results

To examine the effects of the program, analyses were adjusted for sex, age, and baseline care level. The intervention group showed a higher odds ratio for oral frailty than the control group (OR = 4.351). In contrast, the intervention group showed significantly lower odds ratios for malnutrition risk assessed by the MNA-SF, tongue pressure, and Pa and Ka values below six, indicating a preventive effect. Further investigation and continued refinement of oral frailty prevention programs are needed.

Baseline Characteristics

Participants were residents of City A aged 65 years or older. They comprised healthy individuals and those requiring support levels 1 to care level 2. They were able to walk at least 5 meters, sign the research consent form, and perform oral exercises independently at home using the provided pamphlet. Furthermore, they were able to undergo oral frailty questionnaires and measurements three months later.

Participant flow

Participants were recruited from areas near universities in City A frequented by elderly residents. Community, town councils, and residential facilities were contacted, and districts permitting circular distribution were also approached. After obtaining permission, researchers visited these locations, explained the study, and enrolled elderly residents who gave consent. Assessments were conducted at baseline and after three months. The intervention group implemented the program at home for three months, while the control group did not receive any intervention. To ensure fairness, the control group began the program after three months, with follow-up assessments conducted at six months.

Adverse events

There is no report.

Outcome measures
