| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research was to elucidate the effects of an oral exercise intervention on oral function and eating behaviors in children based on changes in their brain blood flow. During the intervention period, oral function increased in both the intervention group and the control group, and the rates of increase between the two groups were not significantly different. There were no changes in children’s eating behaviors. Brain blood flow in the intervention group was significantly decreased in children with greater increases in height. Children with greater increases in height tended to have an easier time eating foods that were hard to chew. The results suggested that the oral exercise may be more effective during children’s growth spurts.
