| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To clarify effects of intervention via changes in oral functions of elderly people with dementia and sarcopenia living in group homes by exercise using party-horns and intake of Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) together. During the intervention period, intake of MCT was conducted, and the elderly- people were divided into two groups (a group using party-horns and an another group without them). Their oral functions were examined three times; the first examination was before the start of observation, the second one was at the start of the intervention and the third one was at the end of the intervention. Changes in the oral functions between the first examination and the second one (Variation 1) and the changes between the second examination and the third one (Variation 2) were compared in both groups. As for Variation 2, the amount of changes in the group using party-horns was significantly higher than the one in the group without them (p<0.05).

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
MCTと巻笛を併用した口腔機能維持の介入効果を検証できれば，専門職の配置が義務付けられていないグループホームにおいて手軽に実施できるオーラルフレイル予防の一助となる．さらに，認知症高齢者の低栄養や要介護状態の悪化を防ぎ，住み慣れたグループホームで安心した生活を送ることに寄与できると考える．
