Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the field of sport, there is a need for the development of rapid and simple methods of assessing body condition. The oral cavity is a suitable target for condition assessment methods because of the relatively low barriers to the collection of biological information. In particular, oral mucosal moisture, salivary lactate dehydrogenase, blood flow on the dorsal surface of the tongue, and biomarkers (S-IgA and antimicrobial peptides) in saliva and dental plaque samples have been identified as indicators that can capture body condition.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

口腔領域は比較的生体情報の採取の障壁が低く、身体能力やコンディションを簡便に評価できるポテンシャルをもつ。本研究はスポーツの現場を対象として行われたが、得られた知見はスポーツ現場のみならず、さまざまな世代の一般レベルの健康情報としての活用を見込めるものであった。特に、口腔粘膜湿潤度の測定による全身身体の脱水状態の予測システムは、スポーツ現場との親和性も相まって、現場実装も期待できるものであると考えている。
