摘　　要：随着全球人口老龄化趋势的加剧,主要波及老年人群认知障碍的发病率在全球不同地区均呈现上升趋势,这一现象与老年人免疫功能的减退和口腔卫生维护能力的下降密切相关,进而导致口腔功能受损和牙菌斑积累增加。本文阐述了衰老时口腔结构和功能的改变、微生物的变化、口腔疾病的发生发展特点。探讨了口腔健康不良对认知功能影响的途径。旨在强调重视老年人口腔健康对预防和延缓衰老过程中认知障碍发生发展的重要性,为后续进一步研究及干预策略制定提供参考依据。With the intensification of the global population aging trend, the incidence of cognitive impairment mainly affecting the elderly population is increasing in different regions of the world, which is closely related to the decline of immune function and oral health maintenance ability of the elderly, which in turn leads to the impairment of oral function and the increase of plaque accumulation. This article expounds the changes in oral structure and function, the changes in microorganisms, and the occurrence and development characteristics of oral diseases during aging. The pathways of the impact of poor oral health on cognitive function were explored. The purpose of this study is to emphasize the importance of paying attention to the oral health of the elderly to prevent and delay the occurrence and development of cognitive impairment in the aging process, and to provide a reference for further research and the formulation of intervention strategies.
