目的：目的：评价80岁以上老年人的咀嚼功能。对象：对283名80岁以上老年人进行一般情况和口腔健康调查。主要观察指标：口腔检查，包括剩余牙数、咬合、修复、咬合力记录和咀嚼功能问卷。结果：在日本爱知县的5个市（冈崎市、常滑市、田原町、厚见町和南知田町）中，有7.4%的人有20颗以上的牙齿，44.5%的人有无牙颌。无闭塞的受试者占总数的77.4%。有假体的受试者占90.8%。最大咬合力和咀嚼能力评分在20颗牙以上或未戴修复体的患者高于其他组。结论：80岁以上的老年人在义齿的辅助下，咀嚼能力得到了恢复。有几个人与20个或更多的剩余牙齿或没有可移动的假牙目前在两个颌骨咬合力和咀嚼能力的高分。
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the masticatory performance of elderly people at the age of 80 years.SUBJECTS: A total of 283 individuals of 80 years of age took part in a general and dental health survey.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: A dental examination including the number of remaining teeth, occlusion, prostheses, bite force recording, and a questionnaire regarding masticatory performance were recorded.SETTING: Five municipalities (Okazaki city, Tokoname city, Tahara town, Atsumi town and Minami-chita town) in Aichi prefecture, Japan.RESULTS: There were 20 or more teeth in 7.4% subjects, and 44.5% were edentulous. Subjects with no occlusion accounted for 77.4% of the total. Subjects with prostheses accounted for 90.8%. Maximum bite force and masticatory ability score for patients with 20 or more teeth or not wearing prostheses were higher than other groups. The non-wearing prostheses group had a low masticatory ability score.CONCLUSION: Most of the 80-year-old individuals recovered their masticatory ability with the assistance of prostheses. Several individuals with 20 or more remaining teeth or without removable dentures present in both jaws had a high score for bite forces and masticatory abilities.
