目的衰老和肌肉减少症不仅会降低身体的力量，还会降低吞咽肌肉的力量。我们研究了如何老化和肌肉减少症影响舌压力和下颌开口force.MethodsA共97名老年人（97名男性，平均年龄78.56.6岁; 100名女性，平均年龄77.86.2岁）参加。肌肉减少症的分类基于亚洲肌肉减少症工作组的标准。为了探讨年龄和肌肉减少症之间的变量是一个显着的独立变量，舌压力和下颌张开力，多元线性回归analysis.ResultsThe平均舌压力为26.3 +/- 7.8kPa的男性和24.6 +/- 7.2kPa的女性。男性的平均下颌张开力为6.3 +/- 1.6kg，女性为5.2 +/- 1.3kg。男性的舌压、年龄和肌肉减少是显著的自变量，而女性只有肌肉减少是显著的自变量。男性和肌肉减少症的下颌开放力是显着的自变量，而既不老化，也不肌肉减少症是显着的自变量在women.ConclusionsWe发现不同的特点，根据网站和性别的老化和肌肉减少症的影响。我们认为，衰老降低舌压比下颌张开力更大，对男性的影响大于女性。肌肉减少影响舌压力和开颌力，但女性的开颌力除外。考虑这些特征有助于预测吞咽功能的下降，并提供适当的干预措施，预防吞咽困难。Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17：295-301.
AimAging and sarcopenia reduce not only body strength, but also the strength of swallowing muscles. We examined how aging and sarcopenia affect tongue pressure and jaw-opening force.MethodsA total of 97 older adults (97 men, mean age 78.56.6 years; 100 women, mean age 77.86.2 years) were enrolled. Classification of sarcopenia was based on the Criteria of Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia. To investigate which variable between aging and sarcopenia was a significant independent variable on tongue pressure and jaw-opening force, multivariate linear regression analysis was carried out.ResultsThe mean tongue pressure was 26.3 +/- 7.8kPa in men and 24.6 +/- 7.2kPa in women. The mean jaw-opening force was 6.3 +/- 1.6kg in men and 5.2 +/- 1.3kg in women. Tongue pressure in men, aging and sarcopenia were significant independent variables, whereas only sarcopenia was a significant independent variable in women. Jaw-opening force in men and sarcopenia were significant independent variables, whereas neither aging nor sarcopenia were significant independent variables in women.ConclusionsWe found different characteristics in the effects of aging and sarcopenia based on site and sex. We suggested that aging decreased tongue pressure more than jaw-opening force, and affected men more than women. Sarcopenia affected tongue pressure and jaw-opening force, with the exception of jaw-opening force in women. Considering these characteristics is useful to predict the decline of swallowing function, and provide appropriate interventions preventing dysphagia. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 295-301.
