Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Texture modified diets are often used for the elderly with swallowing disorders or dental problems. With generally decreasing cognitive function, activation of the brain by frequent and regular eating is effective in maintaining or improving cognitive function. This study aimed to examine the differences in the effect on brain activity by consuming meals of different textures and to clarify the relation between individual oral function and brain activity. For young healthy adults, improvement of short-term memory ability and performance function could not be observed. For the normal diets, higher oral functions were related to greater brain activity.
