Abstract Objectives This study aims to assess mortality risk and its association to health aspects in dentate individuals 60 years of age and older. Materials and methods Medical and periodontal data from 870 dentate individuals (age range 60–96) participating in the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care in Blekinge (SNACBlekinge) with survival statistics over 6 years were studied. Results During 6 years of follow-up, 42/474 of the individuals (8.9 %), who at baseline were between age 60 and 75, and 134/ 396 individuals of the individuals (33.9 %), who at baseline were ≥75 years, died. Surviving dentate individuals had more teeth (mean 19.3, S.D.±7.9) than those who died (mean 15.9, S. Renvert : R. G.
