OBJECTIVES: This study aims to assess mortality risk and its association to health aspects in dentate individuals 60 years of age and older. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Medical and periodontal data from 870 dentate individuals (age range 60–96) participating in the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Blekinge (SNACBlekinge)with survival statistics over 6 years were studied. RESULTS: During 6 years of follow-up, 42/474 of the individuals(8.9 %), who at baseline were between age 60 and 75, and 134/396 individuals of the individuals (33.9 %), who at baseline were ≥75 years, died. Surviving dentate individuals had more teeth (mean 19.3, S.D.±7.9) than those who died (mean 15.9,S.D.±7.3; mean diff 3,3; S.E. mean diff 0.7; 95 % CI 2.0, 4.6;p=0.001). A self-reported history of high blood pressure (F=15.0, p<0.001), heart failure (F=24.5, p<0.001, observed power=0.99), older age (F=34.7, p<0.001), male gender(F=6.3, p<0.01), serum HbA1c with 6.5 % as cutoff level(F=9.3, p=0.002) were factors associated with mortality. A medical diagnosis of heart disease, diabetes, any form of cancer,or periodontitis failed to predict mortality. CONCLUSIONS: A self-reported history of angina pectoris, chronic heart failure, elevated serum HbA1c, and few remaining teeth were associated with mortality risk. A professional diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, or periodontitis was not predictive of mortality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Self-health reports are important to observe in the assessment of disease and survival in older individual.
