Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Patients suffering from various diseases and the elderly have a combination of impaired ADL, poor nutrition, sarcopenia, oral problems, and dysphagia, and their health deteriorates as a result of their interactions with each other. Simultaneous and integrated rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral health care are essential to prevent ADL decline and maintain and improve overall health. Today, such efforts are being promoted in Japan, and I would like to solicit a wide variety of research results on the outcomes of such integrated efforts of oral health, nutrition, and rehabilitation through collaboration among multiple professions. By presenting review articles and research results on nutritional intake and oral functions that play a role in effective exercise therapy and rehabilitation, I hope to clarify the importance of efforts to package rehabilitation with oral health and nutrition.
