摘要：
Having a functioning natural dentition of more than 20 teeth is a reasonable threshold for acceptable oral health and a functional dentition into old age.Maintaining a healthy and functional dentition into old age may have an important additional role to play in maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index.The association of poor oral health with obesity is likely to be associated with the quality of the diet.Amongst adults over 65 years, having few or no natural teeth was associated with a greater risk both of being underweight and with a greater risk of being obese.There was no difference in BMI between edentulous people and dentate adults having a functioning dentition of more than 20 teeth.
