| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of newly manufactured complete dentures or free-end removable partial dentures, combined with individualized dietary guidance from nutritionists, on the nutritional intake and masticatory ability of the participants through a randomized clinical trial. However, the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a change in the original plan. As a result, the research focus shifted to analyzing the relationship between denture use, dietary habits, and nutritional status, and to developing a customized dietary guidance system led by dental hygienists with the support of nutritionists. Qualitative evaluations indicated the critical importance of awareness regarding dietary habits. The findings suggested that for the effective practice of healthy eating habits, it is essential to not only raise individual awareness but also to maintain interest in food through community and family support, especially for those living alone.

この研究の学術的意義は、高齢者の栄養摂取や健康に対する歯科治療の影響を深く探求した点にある。特に、COVID-19パンデミック下での研究計画の変更により、食習慣や栄養状態に対する社会的および心理的要因の重要性が浮き彫りになった。この研究では、個々の意識や家族・地域の支援が高齢者の健康的な食生活に与える影響を明らかにした。また、新しい食事指導システムの開発や歯科治療の側面からの栄養管理に関する提言が、社会的意義として重要であることを示した。これにより、高齢者の栄養不足や口腔健康の改善に向けた包括的なアプローチが促進され、より良い生活の質を提供する可能性が考えられる。
