中文摘要
背景: 阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停(OSA)与吞咽困难和舌肌功能障碍相关,但其与多维口腔功能减退的关系仍不明确。
目的: 本研究探讨经多导睡眠图确诊的OSA是否与老年人群领域特异性口腔功能减退相关。
方法: 本病例对照研究纳入年龄≥50岁的成年人。OSA定义为呼吸暂停低通气指数≥5次/小时,对照定义为OSA低风险(STOP-Bang<3)。口腔功能减退按七个领域进行评估。进行了按性别分层分析和多变量logistic回归模型。
结果: 共纳入288名参与者(OSA组:n=69;对照组:n=219)。与对照组相比,OSA参与者的口腔卫生更差(p<0.001)、口腔干燥更严重(p=0.005)且舌压更低(p=0.022)。相反,咬合力和咀嚼功能下降在对照组中更为常见。校正分析显示,OSA与口腔功能减退独立相关(校正比值比[aOR]=2.49,95%CI:1.07-5.81)、口腔卫生差(aOR=4.02)、口腔干燥(aOR=4.24)和舌压降低(aOR=4.95)。两性均观察到相似的口腔环境损害,而舌压降低在男性中更为明显。
结论: OSA与口腔环境受损和舌压降低相关。这些发现提示,口腔功能评估,尤其是舌压测量,可能补充老年OSA患者的临床评估,并有助于识别吞咽功能受损风险增加的个体。

英文摘要
BACKGROUND: Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) has been associated with dysphagia and tongue muscle dysfunction, but its relationship with multidimensional oral hypofunction remains unclear.
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether polysomnography-confirmed OSA is associated with domain-specific oral hypofunction in older adults.
METHODS: In this case-control study, adults aged ≥ 50 years were included. OSA was defined as an apnoea-hypopnea index ≥ 5 events/h, while controls were defined as having low OSA risk (STOP-Bang < 3). Oral hypofunction was assessed across seven domains. Sex-stratified analyses and multivariable logistic regression models were performed.
RESULTS: A total of 288 participants were included (OSA: n = 69; controls: n = 219). Compared with controls, participants with OSA demonstrated poorer oral hygiene (p < 0.001), greater oral dryness (p = 0.005) and lower tongue pressure (p = 0.022). In contrast, declines in occlusal force and chewing function were more prevalent in controls. Adjusted analyses showed that OSA was independently associated with oral hypofunction (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.49, 95% CI: 1.07-5.81), poor oral hygiene (aOR = 4.02), oral dryness (aOR = 4.24) and reduced tongue pressure (aOR = 4.95). Similar oral environmental impairments were observed across both sexes, while tongue pressure reduction was more pronounced in males.
CONCLUSIONS: OSA is associated with impaired oral environment and reduced tongue pressure. These findings suggest that oral function assessment, particularly tongue pressure measurement, may complement the clinical evaluation of older adults with OSA and help identify individuals at increased risk of swallowing impairment.
