The effect of increases in physical activity on oral health and function in older adults in Singapore: A longitudinal causal inference study.

Researchers examined whether increasing physical activity causally improves oral health outcomes in older Singaporean adults using eight years of longitudinal data. Higher physical activity levels were associated with reduced risk of poor self-rated oral health and masticatory impairment, with effects persisting across various activity thresholds.
