The item that they wanted to learn about the most was the cardiovascular system (3.14), followed by the endocrine system (3.08) and the nervous system (3.07).
2. Concerning needs for senior oral health education, they gave a mean of 3.01 to this education, which indicated that they considered that to be relatively necessary or necessary.
