Abstract(s)
A saúde oral é um aspeto crucial da saúde geral frequentemente negligenciado, especialmente entre os idosos. Com o envelhecimento da população, o cuidado da saúde oral dos idosos torna-se uma prioridade. Os idosos enfrentam problemas acumulados ao longo da vida por sequelas de cáries dentárias, doenças periodontais, perda de dentes, infeções bucais, entre outros, que afetam significativamente a qualidade de vida e o bem-estar geral. A nutrição desempenha um papel essencial na saúde oral, influenciando diretamente o desenvolvimento e a progressão das patologias bucais.
Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo analisar e compreender o impacto da nutrição na saúde oral dos idosos. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de revisão narrativa, com recurso a bases de dados como PubMed, SciELO e b-on, abrangendo o período de janeiro de 2014 a janeiro de 2024. Foram incluídos trinta artigos científicos, com foco em ensaios clínicos, estudos de coorte e meta-análises.
Os principais resultados mostram que uma alimentação equilibrada e a prática regular de atividade física, facilitadas pela autonomia, reforçam o sistema imunitário, diminuem a incidência de doenças crónicas e melhoram a saúde bucal. Conclui-se que a nutrição adequada é essencial para a saúde oral dos idosos e que estratégias preventivas personalizadas podem melhorar significativamente a sua qualidade de vida. O estudo destaca ainda a importância de uma abordagem holística que contemple as necessidades específicas desta população, promovendo um envelhecimento ativo e saudável.
Oral health is a crucial aspect of overall health often neglected, especially among the elderly. With the aging population, the care of oral health in the elderly becomes a priority. Seniors face lifelong issues such as dental caries, periodontal diseases, tooth loss, and oral infections, significantly impacting their quality of life and overall well-being. Nutrition plays a vital role in oral health, directly influencing the development and progression of oral diseases. The main objective of this thesis is to analyze and understand the impact of nutrition on the oral health of the elderly. A narrative review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, SciELO, and b-on, covering the period from January 2014 to January 2024. Thirty scientific articles were included, focusing on clinical trials, cohort studies, and meta-analyses. The main findings show that a balanced diet and regular physical activity, facilitated by autonomy, strengthen the immune system, reduce the incidence of chronic diseases, and improve oral health. It is concluded that proper nutrition is essential for the oral health of the elderly and that personalized preventive strategies can significantly improve their quality of life. The study further emphasizes the need for a holistic approach that addresses the specific needs of this population, promoting active and healthy aging.
