Abstract With the growing proportion of older people and increasing use of drugs in this population, it is important to study how drugs affect oral health among older people. The aim of this thesis was to study whether sedative load, which represents cumulative exposure to drugs with sedative properties, is associated with oral health among community-dwelling older people. The focus was on a dry mouth, oral health behavior, dental caries, and infection in the periodontium. In addition, sedative load and anticholinergic burden were compared. The present study population was a subpopulation from an intervention study “Geriatric Multidisciplinary Strategy for Good Care of the Elderly”. The study population consisted of 159 community-dwelling,...
