Abstract

Objectives: The age-related changes in the masticatory muscles and teeth lead to large spectrum of problems from malnutrition to death in the elderly. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship among bite strength, chewing muscle thickness, and swallowing difficulty. Materials and Methods: A total of 58 patients (47 over 65 years old and 11 young) were included in the study. After a comprehensive geriatric assessment of the older adults, the jaw bite force was assessed with pressure sensitive sensor and chewing muscles thicknesses were measured with ultrasound in both groups. The swallowing difficulty was determined by the eating assessment tool (EAT-10). Results: The median age was 71 years (minimum-maximum: 21-85) and 48.3% of the participants were women. Bilateral jaw bite force scores and masseter muscles thicknesses were lower in the elderly than in the young patients and in the patients with tooth prosthesis than in those without prosthesis (p

Özet

Amaç: Çiğneme kaslarında ve dişlerde yaşa bağlı değişiklikler, yaşlılarda yetersiz beslenmeden ölüme kadar geniş bir yelpazede sorunlara yol açar. Bu çalışmanın amacı çene ısırma kuvveti, çiğneme kas kalınlığı ve yutma güçlüğü arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya toplam 58 hasta (65 yaş üstü 47 ve 11 genç) dahil edildi. Yaşlı erişkinlerin kapsamlı geriatrik değerlendirmesinin ardından her iki grupta da çene ısırma kuvveti basınca duyarlı sensör ile değerlendirildi ve çiğneme kasları kalınlıkları ultrason ile ölçüldü. Yutma güçlüğü yeme değerlendirme aracı (EAT-10) ile belirlendi. Bulgular: Ortanca yaş 71 yıl idi (minimum-maksimum: 21-85) ve katılımcıların %48,3’ü kadındı. Bilateral çene ısırma kuvveti skorları ve masseter kas kalınlıkları yaşlı hastalarda genç hastalara göre, diş protezi olanlarda ise protezi olmayanlara göre daha düşüktü (sırasıyla p
