Towards an operational definition of oral frailty: A e-Delphi study.
Arch Gerontol Geriatr
February 2024
Objectives: Building upon our recently developed conceptual definition of oral frailty (the age-related functional decline of orofacial structures), this e-Delphi study aims to develop an operational definition of oral frailty by identifying its components.
Methods: We used a modified e-Delphi study to reach a consensus among international experts on the components of oral frailty. Twelve out of fifteen invited experts in the field of gerodontology participated.
