To explore the relationship between oral hygiene behavior and depression level in elderly people.
This article used the 2018 data from the Chinese Elderly Health Longevity Factors Survey (CLHLS) to select 10 148 eligible research subjects. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between oral hygiene behavior, dietary diversity, life satisfaction, and depression levels in the elderly. The Process4.1 plugin model in SPSS was used to analyze the mediating role of dietary diversity and life satisfaction between oral hygiene behavior and depression levels in the elderly.
The direct impact of oral hygiene behavior on depression levels in the elderly was significant (β=-0.206,P<0.01); Dietary diversity and life satisfaction significantly affected the level of depression in elderly people (β=-0.270, P<0.01); (β=-2.992,P<0.01); The mediating effects of dietary diversity and life satisfaction on the relationship between oral hygiene behavior and depression levels in elderly individuals were-0.069 (95%CI:-0.088 - -0.051) and -0.099 (95%CI:-0.145 - -0.055), respectively, with a chain mediation effect of -0.060 (95%CI:-0.071 - -0.049).
Dietary diversity and life satisfaction have a mediating effect between oral hygiene behavior and depression levels in the elderly, and there is a chain mediating effect between dietary diversity and life satisfaction and depression levels in the elderly.
