Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors related to the prosthetic condition of 226 elderly people aged 65 years or older who had limited activities using the data of the 8th and 3rd year of the National Health and Nutrition Survey. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors related to the prosthetic condition of the elderly with limited activity. The results are as follows. Factors influencing the need for fixed maxillary and mandibular and removable dentures in activity-limited elderly people are gender, age, personal income, household income, marital status, place of residence, education level, condition of maxillary prosthesis, condition of mandibular prosthesis, and reasons for non-dental treatment. The significance of this study is to reduce unmet dental care in elderly people with limited activity. Through this, we aim to increase the use and accessibility of dental healthcare and use it as basic data to help improve the oral health management system.
