Objective: To carry out a literature review on the influence of oral health status on the physical fitness of individuals over 40 years old and to discuss its importance for good sports development. Methods: A literature review was carried out in the Medline database via Pubmed, considering the articles published from the year 2000 onward. The search was carried out using combinations of terms in English: tooth loss, oral health, fitness physics, master athlete, elderly, athlete. Articles that did not address the proposed theme, that evaluating other populations or dependent elderly people, institutionalized or bedridden, that had no relationship with aspects between oral health and physical fitness, review studies and case reports were excluded. At the end, 20 studies were selected. Results: It was possible to observe an interesting association between different oral health conditions and characteristics of physical fitness, in subjects over 40 years old. The variables corresponding to oral health included tooth loss, occlusal aspects, prosthetic rehabilitation and oral infectious and inflammatory diseases. The analyzed variables associated with physical fitness included the strength and power of lower limbs, static balance, walking speed and handgrip strength. Conclusion: The impact of oral health can have a negative influence in the physical fitness, especially on athletes of the master categories, as they are subjected to a situation conditioned by the effects of aging. Oral health care strategies are important tools to assist in maintaining sports performance.
