| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify that minor salivary gland flow rate (MF) seem to be as a key feature of xerostomia in the elderly, MF in the lower labial mucosa was compared in xerostomia and control subjects using the iodine-starch filter paper method. Moreover, ｓtimulated whole salivary flow rates were also measured. As the ｒesults, Both labial-MF and stimulated-WF were significantly lower in xerostomia subjects than in controls. There was no correlation between labial-MF and stimulated-WF in xerostomia subjects. In xerostomia subjects compared to controls, there was a significantly larger reduction in labial-MF than in stimulated-WF. Though after 3 years the great east japn earth earthquake,in the elderly patients with xerostomia, psychological stress lasted and MF has still redused, whereas stimulates-WF has recovered to normal level. Moreover, in elderly patients with xerostomia, inadequate nutrition, appetite loss and poor health were significantly seen than in control without xerostomia.
