Edentulism is common among older adults and may influence neuromuscular coordination and systemic health, yet its association with balance ability remains underexplored.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n This study was based on cross\u2010sectional data from the 2015 of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). A total of 13\u2009047 participants aged \u2265\u200945\u2009years were included in the analysis. Basic standing balance ability was assessed using standardized physical performance tests. Participants who answered \u2018yes\u2019 to the question \u2018Have you lost all your teeth?\u2019 were classified as edentulous, and those who answered \u2018no\u2019 were classified as non\u2010edentulous. Survey\u2010weighted modified Poisson regression models with robust variance estimation were constructed to examine the association between edentulism and basic standing balance ability. Subgroup analyses were conducted across demographic, lifestyle, and clinical strata.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Overall, 464 participants (3.6%) were unable to maintain basic standing balance. In the fully adjusted Poisson regression model, edentulism was significantly associated with balance performance (PR\u2009=\u20090.62, 95% CI: 0.48\u20130.81,\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.001), indicating a lower prevalence of maintaining basic standing balance among participants with edentulism.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n These findings suggest that edentulism may serve as a simple clinical marker for identifying middle\u2010aged and older adults at increased risk of postural instability and physical functional impairment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/joor.70351","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,23]],"date-time":"2026-10-23T01:57:55Z","timestamp":1792720675000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Association Between Edentulism and Postural Stability Among Middle\u2010Aged and Older Adults: A Nationwide Cross\u2010Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-7063-1801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shi\u2010jia","family":"Huang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Orthopedics, Stomatology Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang University Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8711-9454","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ze\u2010long","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School Nanjing University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7894-088X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min\u2010xin","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Orthopedics, Stomatology Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang University Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8792-7468","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rui","family":"Mu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Orthopedics, Stomatology Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang University Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming\u2010zhe","family":"Xin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Stomatology, Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medical School Nanjing University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3691-3140","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu\u2010xin","family":"Qian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-6682-0776","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Orthopedics, Stomatology Center, The Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Zhejiang University Hangzhou China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"671","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cger.2020.06.009","article-title":"Physical Activity and Healthy Aging","volume":"36","author":"Eckstrom E.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Clinics in Geriatric Medicine"},{"issue":"16","key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1397","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2024.1416","article-title":"Risk Assessment and Prevention of Falls in Older Community\u2010Dwelling Adults: A Review","volume":"331","author":"Col\u00f3n\u2010Emeric C.
