The effect of wearing dentures on the above effects was also evaluated.

Maintaining \u226520 teeth was associated with better cognitive function (\u03b2\u2009 =\u20090.338, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.229-0.447), and so was denture wearing (\u03b2\u00a0\u2009 =\u20090.449, 95% CI: 0.351-0.547). However, there was no significant difference in cognitive function between the older adults with &amp;lt;20 teeth and dentures and those with \u226520 teeth (\u03b2\u00a0\u2009 =\u20090.084, 95% CI: \u22120.035-0.203). The total effect and direct effect of tooth number on cognitive function were 0.201 (95% CI: 0.096-0.306) and 0.177 (95% CI: 0.072-0.282), respectively. The indirect effect of dietary diversity was 0.023 (95% CI: 0.010-0.037), accounting for 11.65% of the total effect.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In Chinese older adults, more teeth were associated with better cognitive function.
