Abstract

Man's number one goal has always been to be in perfect health. In addition to the patient's socioeconomic status and eating habits, the patient's age is a major factor in the development of a number of medical illnesses and diseases that have a nutritional component. The goal of this study is to put together what has been learned about the relationship between food and oral health in older people from other studies. A cross-sectional study needs to gather clinical data. Six months at the RAK College of Dental Sciences' outpatient center. The data for the study came from the older people who went to the RAK outpatient center. Patients are chosen for samples based on their health and culture, which is separated by gender. There may be a total of 40 people, with about 20 men and 20 women. Patients of both sexes are put into groups based on their habits and health problems. The patients will be given a piece of paper with a list of questions on it. Most patients, regardless of age or gender, were labeled with cardiovascular and endocrine diseases.
