Coordenador do Mestrado Profissional em Psicologia da Saúde da Faculdade Pernambucana de Saúde – FPS The aging process is considered a worldwide phenomenon, and it is observed that the population has aged, where there is an inversion in the age pyramid resulting from the increase in life expectancy. This phenomenon has been investigated by several national and international studies. As results, there are some justifications that are being cited. Among these, are the presence of some demographic factors such as a reduction in fertilit, fecundity and mortality rate over the years, in addition, we highlight the technological advances in health and improvement in the quality of life of individuals1,2. Consequently, with the presence of these influencing factors, some studies highlight an epidemiological transition, where infectious diseases are being replaced by chronic-degenerative, as the main cause of morbidity and mortality, giving emphasis on dementia syndromes . In addition of aging, are expected physical, psychological and social changes that lead to changes in the life of each elderly.

India being the largest smokeless tobacco (SLT) producer and consumer in the South East Asia Region (SEAR) entitled with a range of products. SLT consumption is very common because it is associated with socio-economic and cultural perspectives in the India. After the implementation of the first treaty of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO-FCTC), public health standards were reaffirmed and improvised through successful implementation of articles since 2007 as reported in the global progress factsheet.

For this study, we searched for SLT dependence and SLT cessation literature survey in PubMed and obtained 102 literatures consisting of studies and reviews, which were further scrutinized by excluding the reviews, studies conducted abroad and studies conducted within the last 5 years (after 2015). No statistical significance was observed in comparison of National to International SLT dependence and an attempt to quit SLT following the tenure of a year. This is in-line with GATS-2 and international data. We have also discussed a diverse approach in the control of SLT at different levels-such as SLT users, healthcare professional, policy advocates supplier, labeling, legal policies, and educating at various platforms.

Research Article of International Journal of Aging Research The Elderly, Carriers of Dementia Syndromes and Dental Care Berta Luíza Gabriela Moreno¹, Cinthia Natali Pontes dos Santos2, Andreza de Oliveira Melo2, Maria Tereza Nascimento Filgueiras Andrade2, Nathalia Patrícia Almeida Santos3, Aurora Karla de Lacerda Vidal4 1Dental Surgeon, Dental Expert Witness, Home Dental Care; 2Dental Surgeon, Resident of the Multiprofessional Integrated Residency Program in Family Health (RMISF/FCM/UPE); 3Nurse, Resident of the Multiprofessional Integrated Residency Program in Family Health (RMISF/FCM/UPE); 4Dental Surgeon, Oral Pathologist, Doctor in Collective Health, Adjunct Professor of the General Pathological Processes Subject of the Institute of Biological Sciences of the University of Pernambuco - ICB/UPE, Head of the Dentistry Service of the Oncology Center of the Oswaldo Cruz University Hospital (CEON/HUO/UPE), Coordinator of the Residency Program in Hospital Dentistry with emphasis on Oncology, University of Pernambuco - ICB/HUOC/UPE, Tutor of the Dentistry Center of the Integrated Multidisciplinary Residency in Family Health, School of Medical Sciences, University of Pernambuco (RMISF/FCM/UPE). The demographic and epidemiological transition resulting from declining birth rates, increased economically active population, decreased infectious diseases and increased chronic degenerative diseases produce a population scenario with a high number of elderly individuals, prone to developing dementia, whose prevalence is directly related to increasing age. Dementia is progressive and characterized by the loss of self-care ability and ability to perform activities of daily living, including the difficulty to perform oral hygiene and accept dental treatment, thus resulting in decreased oral health. Thus, it is necessary to know and think about oral care to increase the quality of life of this population through actions of health promotion, prevention and recovery with the accomplishment of home and hospital dental procedures, besides the traditional service, at a dental office.
