Abstract
Conclusion The study revealed a significant prevalence of OMLs among the elderly Libyan population, with FT and AC being the most frequent. Females were more likely to have OMLs, which decreased in occurrence with age. DM was the most prevalent SD among the elderly. The study found a significant association between OMLs and SDs in the elderly Libyan population, emphasizing the necessity for additional studies to detect and treat common oral and systemic concerns. The study, the first of its type in Libya, focuses on the elderly's oral and SDs, intending to improve their overall health and quality of life.
