Abstract

In previous reports, HP infection relate with halitosis, however don't relate with tooth loss. Most of these reports studied in population of middle age. On the other hand, it is unclear whether there is a relationship between HP infection and taste disturbance. To study whether number of tooth, halitosis and taste disturbance relate with HP infection in Japanese 85-years individuals. 207 individuals of 85-years resided in Kitakyushu-city and neighboring communities invited to undergo questionnaires related with halitosis and taste disturbance, oral examination, medical examination and some blood tests. HP infection was determined with serum anti-HP IgG antibody (EIA). 204 individuals (88 men, 116 women) completed these series of medical check. HP-seropositivity was 79.5% in men and 57.8% in women. Number of tooth, halitosis and taste disturbance did not statistically relate with HP infection. Number of tooth, halitosis and taste disturbance did not relate with HP infection in Japanese elderly.
