“…In addition, chewing ability may be an independent predictor of physical fitness measurements in the elderly (5 (2). This is supported by recent investigations, which found associations between impaired lipid metabolism and periodontal disease (6)(7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…Most authors have assessed perceived chewing ability and dental status. Correlations have been shown to occur between perceived chewing ability and leg extensor strength, after adjustment for serum albumin and fasting glucose levels;11 between lower extremity performance and dental status;12 and between dental status and locomotion 13. It was also found that people with 20 or more remaining teeth show greater social and physical activity 14…”

BackgroundMaintaining good physical fitness and oral function in old age is an important element of good quality of life. Disability-related impairment of oral function contributes to a deterioration of the diet of older people and to the reduction of their social activity.ObjectivesInvestigate the association between masseter muscle tension, dental status, and physical fitness parameters.Materials and methodsTwo hundred fifty-nine elderly care home residents (97 men, 162 women; mean age, 75.3±8.9 years) were involved in this cross-sectional study. Their chewing ability was evaluated by masseter muscle tension palpation, differences of masseter muscle thickness, self-reported chewing ability, number of present and functional teeth, and number of posterior tooth pairs. Masseter muscle thickness was measured by ultrasonography. To assess physical fitness, hand grip strength and the timed up-and-go test were performed. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index and body cell mass index (BCMI), calculated on the basis of electrical bioimpedance measurements. Medical records were used to collect information on systemic diseases and the number of prescribed medications. Subjects were also evaluated for their ability to perform ten activities of daily living.ResultsNinety-seven percent of the subjects suffered from systemic diseases. The three most prevalent illnesses were cardiac/circulatory 64.5%, musculoskeletal 37.3%, and endocrine/metabolic/nutritional 29.3%. Of the participants, 1.5% were underweight and more than one third (34.4%) were overweight. Malnutrition (BCMI below normal) was found in almost half (45.2%) of the subjects. Only 5.8% had a sufficient number of functional natural teeth. Statistically significant correlations were found between palpation of masseter muscle tension and perceived chewing ability, number of present teeth, number of functional teeth, number of posterior tooth pairs, timed up-and-go, hand grip strength, body mass index, BCMI, and activities of daily living. In a multivariate model, after adjusting for age, sex, and education, subjects with higher BCMI, higher hand grip strength, and more present teeth had a significantly higher chance of strong masseter muscle tension.ConclusionThere is a relationship between chewing ability and physical fitness in elderly people. Efficiency of masseter muscles is related to physical fitness in the elderly. Masseter muscle tension examined by palpation can be used in public dentistry as one of the indicators of quality of life.

“…Perceived masticatory ability is also a critical factor for OHRQoL variation, but masticatory performance rather than food mixing ability is important for masticatory ability and OHRQoL in removable partial dentures wearers. Moreover, there is a relationship of masticatory ability with leg extensor strength, one-leg standing time, and isokinetic leg extensor power [23]. Other factors, such as, psychological, cultural and socio-demographic variables may explain the 31.8% of influence that the model power does not consider.…”

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of prosthetic-related factors on OHRQoL. METHODS: Twenty-eight edentulous patients, conventional complete dentures wearers, composed the sample. The evaluation of prosthetic factors involved the clinical assessment of quality of dentures, patients' satisfaction, and masticatory ability, as well as recording of wearing time. The OHRQoL was determined thought the oral health impact profile (OHIP-EDENT) questionnaire. Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were used to statistical inferences (α=0.05). RESULTUS: The OHRQoL showed a strong correlation with the masticatory ability (r=0.8 / p<0.001) and patients' satisfaction (r=0.7 / p<0.001), which also displayed a strong correlation between them (r=0.7 / p<0.001). Moreover, the regression model stated that these variables explained 68.2% (r 2 =0.682) of the variation in the OHIP-EDENT data (p< 0.001).CONCLUSION: The OHRQoL was influenced by prosthetic factors, when these were characterized by the masticatory ability and patients' satisfaction, and not by the quality of dentures nor wearing time.
