Abstract EN
The purpose of this study was to determine distinct risk factors causing reduced salivary flow rate in a community-dwelling population using a prospective cohort study design.
This was a 5-year follow-up survey of 1,377 community-dwelling Japanese individuals aged ≥40 years.
The salivary flow rate was evaluated at baseline and follow-up by collecting stimulated saliva.
Data on demographic characteristics, use of medication, and general and oral health status were obtained at baseline.
The relationship between reduced salivary flow rate during the follow-up period and its predictors was evaluated after adjustment for confounding factors.
In a multivariate logistic regression model, higher age and plaque score and lower serum albumin levels were significantly associated with greater odds of an obvious reduction in salivary flow rate (age per decade, odds ratio [OR] = 1.25, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.03–1.51; serum albumin levels <4 g/dL, OR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.04–2.46; plaque score ≥1, OR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.04–2.24).
In a multivariate linear regression model, age and plaque score remained independently associated with the increased rate of reduced salivary flow.
These results suggest that aging and plaque score are important predictors of reduced salivary flow rate in Japanese adults.
