Dental caries associated with low muscle strength and sarcopenia
Dental caries associated with low muscle strength and sarcopenia suggests a recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition, Health and Aging.
In the fully adjusted logistic models, dental caries was positively associated with low muscle strength, and sarcopenia, but not low muscle mass.
Severe dental caries was positively associated with higher alpha-diversity indices and associated with beta-diversity based on Bray-Curtis distance (p = 0.006).
The severe dental caries group and the sarcopenia group overlapped with 11 depleted and 13 enriched genera.
