The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between the elderly’s oral health and their nutrition status. Then, we would examine if the social capital has their moderating effects on the moderator variables. For the study, the 2014 National Survey of the Elderly was used. Regarding the final analysis participants, they were selected by the elderly’s activities of daily living (ADL) and the elderly’s need of aid by their children or spouse, which are the groups classified by 2017 Korea Institute of Health and Social Affairs (KHIDI). To reach the main purpose of this study, we conducted the regression analysis by each group. The result is like the following. First, it was confirmed that both oral health and nutrition status are related. Second, the social capital controls the relationship between the oral health and nutrition status in the both the group 2 (Active Seniors in Risk), who is self-contained but needs the aid of their health, and the group 3(Non Active Seniors), who needs the aid by their children and spouse on their daily lives and healths, of all 4 groups. This research’s result has a very essential point in the fact that it finds out the importance of maintaining and expanding the oral health management and social capital to improve the elderly’s nutrition status, by thoroughly examining the relationship between the elderly’s oral health, nutrition status, and the social capital.
