目的：应用决策树分析方法，阐明颧舌骨(GH)肌形态及相关功能对咀嚼能力的影响。材料和方法：共103名受试者。测量生长激素肌肉横截面积、颈围、体重指数、舌压、张口力和咀嚼能力评分。选择生长激素肌肉的CSA作为决策树第一层的自变量，以咀嚼评分为因变量。结果与结论：这些数据表明，在评估咀嚼能力时，生长激素肌肉的CSA可能对咀嚼能力评分有很大影响。
Purpose: To clarify the effect of geniohyoid (GH) muscle morphology and related function on masticatory ability using a decision-tree analysis. Materials and Methods: A total of 103 participants were enrolled. A cross-sectional area (CSA) of the GH muscle, neck circumference, body mass index, tongue pressure, jaw opening strength, and masticatory ability score were measured. The CSA of the GH muscle was selected as an independent variable for the first layer of the decision tree, with masticatory score as the dependent variable. Results and Conclusion: These data suggest that the CSA of the GH muscle may have a large impact on the masticatory ability score when evaluating masticatory ability.
