| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The decreased ability of mastication causes a limitation of the food to take in, reduces quality and quantity of the nourishment and increases the risk of the malnutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between a nourishment, the food intake situation and the ability of mastication evaluated with gumi-jelly objectively, using epidemiological technique. A total of 841 independent community-dwelling people older than 55years in Ohasama, a Japanese rural area, participated in this study. The mastication ability test using the gumi-jelly enforced an examination three times each and calculated the mean. It was confirmed that the ability of mastication was decreased with the decrease in occlusion support area. It was suggested that the decreased ability of mastication was influenced to the food intake situation.
