The population of Brazil and the world is aging. The great challenge is to grow old by maintaining quality of life with health, including oral health. The objective of this study was to identify the recurrent themes in Geriodontics, through a bibliometric survey, using the database of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), conducted in 2016. Geriodontics, as a relatively new specialty, presents major challenges related to the elderly population (oral health, prostheses, periodontics, for example). In view of a historical context of aging and increased elderly population, there is a concern to deepen the studies in relation to the subject. Knowing the problems allows offering a better service with quality and adequate training of the professional.

The World

In recent decades, the world has undergone a demographic transformation with a rapid growth of the elderly population, resulting in an increased demand for funds to maintain their health and drug consumption. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes occurring in the elderly can interfere directly in the adverse effects of drugs and increase the risk of intoxication. In addition, there are external factors interfering with the pharmacotherapy of the elderly, such as inappropriate use and the lack of access to information. Many therapeutic classes of drugs should be used with caution or avoided in the elderly population, such as anti-inflammatory and some anti-hypertensive drugs, diuretics and digitalis. If not managed carefully, these medicines can affect the safety and quality of life in the elderly. Thus, the aim of this review was to identify drugs that should be used with caution in elderly patients in order to avoid intoxication and/or adverse drug events.

A intolerância ao glúten é uma incapacidade do organismo em absorver os nutrientes do glúten, que é a principal proteína encontrada em alguns cereais. A incapacidade de absorver partes do glúten pode ser devida a um componente genético ou pode ser adquirida em qualquer fase da vida. A intolerância pode ainda se manifestar após a ingestão de alimentos que contém este elemento, ou em casos assintomáticos, em que mesmo com a ausência dos sintomas, o intestino sofre agressões pela ingestão ao glúten. O estudo teve como objetivo pesquisar sobre o diagnóstico, intolerância ao glúten e alternativas de alimentos para os pacientes. O estudo foi composto por um conjunto de publicações contidas em periódicos, livros-textos, monografias, dissertações e teses. A coleta foi realizada nas bases eletrônicas Scielo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), Bireme (Biblioteca Regional de Medicina), BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde), Pubmed e Lilacs (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências Sócias e da Saúde) e publicações como: monografias, dissertações e teses disponíveis eletronicamente, bem como livros-textos no período de 1989 a 2016. Através da realização deste estudo, foi possível perceber que o glúten está presente na maioria dos alimentos disponíveis, sendo encontrado no trigo, na cevada, no centeio, na aveia e derivados, e se faz necessário que existam companhas informativas aos portadores, especialmente, os quais buscam informações quanto a sua deficiência e formas de conviver com ela, sempre prezando pelo seu bem-estar e qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave: Intolerância. Ingestão. Glúten. AbstractThe gluten intolerance is an inability of the body to absorb nutrients, which is one of the main nutrients of some cereals. The inability to absorb the parts can be a genetic component or can be acquired at any stage of life. Intolerance may continue to manifest itself after a process of awareness, that is, in asymptomatic cases, when with the absence of bowel symptoms, in the aggression to the use. The study had a good relationship with diagnosis, gluten intolerance and food alternatives for patients. The study was composed of a set of publications contained in periodicals, textbooks, monographs, dissertations and theses. The collection was carried out in the electronic databases of Scielo, the Regional Library of Medicine, the Virtual Health Library, Pubmed and Lilacs and the publication in English of Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Social and Health Sciences. The monographs, dissertations and theses available electronically, as well as textbooks from 1989 to 2016, are not found in wheat, in barley, rye, oats and derivatives. It is necessary to have information about the patients, especially those who seek information about their disability and ways of living with them, always esteemed by their well-being and quality of life. Keywords: Intolerance.

The Impact

This study examined the relationship between oral discomfort and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in the Korean elderly, using the datasets provided by the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KHNANES) over 6 consecutive years (2010–2015). A total of 13,618 participants aged 65 years and over were included in the final analysis. A complex sample logistic regression was performed to determine the impact of oral discomfort on HRQOL. The results revealed that toothache, masticatory discomfort, and pronunciation problems caused by oral health conditions were all risk factors for decreased HRQOL. In particular, masticatory discomfort (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.63, Model III (adjusted for all covariates)) and pronunciation problems (AOR 1.64, Model III) negatively impacted the HRQOL of the elderly to a great extent. Masticatory discomfort had a stronger negative impact on HRQOL in the domains of “self-care” (AOR 1.83) and “usual activities” (AOR 1.66), while pronunciation problems had a similar impact on all five domains of the EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D). These findings could serve as baseline data for setting up early intervention programs for the timely prevention of oral health-related discomfort problems that greatly affect the QOL of the elderly population, and for the development of comprehensive and efficient dental insurance policies.

The language we use with others derives from hidden assumptions about them and commands expectations and outcomes. That is why the constructs and language used in health services provided to the elderly are a worthwhile object of study.This paper addresses the language used in the services provided to the elderly population in Mexico and many other Latin-American countries. The psychological, linguistic and practical aspects of the wellbeing language paradigm are discussed. The linguistic analysis of the discourse used by health care providers conveys important implications to the kind, quality and purpose of intervention.It is argued that by using the language of wellness, health professionals are in a better position to listen and assess the degree of satisfaction and happiness, to explore for conditions that may promote or hinder quality of life, and also, they are in a better position for planning services to the elderly that reach beyond physical health and economic indicators.It is posited that quality of life in old age is incomplete without a sense of the patient’s wellbeing.
