Abstract

Objectives
This study was aimed to investigate the association between chronic kidney disease and tooth loss in elderly Koreans.
Methods
Data of 2,419 elderly people aged 65 years or older who participated in the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) were obtained. Those with no missing values were analyzed. Complex samples multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effect of chronic kidney disease on tooth loss.
Results
After adjusting for all covariates, chronic kidney disease was significantly associated with fewer than 20 present teeth (OR 1.53, 95% CI 1.01-2.30).
Conclusions
In elderly Korean people, chronic kidney disease was significantly associated with having less than 20 teeth, suggesting that chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for tooth loss in the elderly.
