| Summary: |
As the lifespan increases andpeople are faced with 15 to 20 years of “old age,â€ÂÂ
we ask what one considers successful aging with respect to oral health. We
propose a comprehensive combination of outcome variables, maintenance of
teeth, manageable periodontal condition, positive perceived oral health, satisfaction
with their access to and receipt of dental services, and minimal functional
problems, that together comprise a definition of successful aging. The International
Collaborative Study for Oral Health Outcomes provides a data set for
exploring the oral health of a diverse sample of older adults in US and international
sites using the modified Andersen Behavioral Model. |
