目的：为了比较有限的一系列咀嚼刺激唾液功能（唾液流量，pH值和缓冲能力）在一个样本中的老年墨西哥人与临床，社会人口和社会经济variables.Subjects和方法：一个横断面研究进行了139名成年人，60岁及以上，从两个退休老人院和一个高级日托中心在墨西哥的帕丘卡市。通过问卷调查收集社会人口、社会经济和行为变量。一个受过训练的和标准化的检查员获得了口腔临床变量。收集咀嚼刺激唾液（石蜡切片法），测定唾液流速、pH值和缓冲容量。使用Stata 9.0中的非参数检验进行分析。结果：平均年龄为79.1 ± 9.8岁。大多数受试者为女性（69.1%）。平均咀嚼刺激唾液流量为0.75 +/- 0.80 mL/min，pH值和缓冲容量分别为7.88 +/- 0.83和4.20 +/- 1.24。平均咀嚼刺激唾液流量因养老院类型、刷牙频率、缺牙数量和使用假牙而异（p < 0.05）。不同类型的养老院的pH值不同，（p < 0.05），年龄略有增加（p = 0.087）;缓冲能力（p < 0.05）因养老院类型、烟草消费和缺牙数量而异。这些探索性的数据增加了关于咀嚼刺激唾液特征的知识体系（唾液流速，pH值和缓冲能力），并概述了在一组墨西哥老年人选定的社会人口，社会经济和行为变量的这些功能的变异性。
Objective: To compare a limited array of chewing-stimulated saliva features (salivary flow, pH and buffer capacity) in a sample of elderly Mexicans with clinical, sociodemographic and socio-economic variables.Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in 139 adults, 60 years old and older, from two retirement homes and a senior day care centre in the city of Pachuca, Mexico. Sociodemographic, socio-economic and behavioural variables were collected through a questionnaire. A trained and standardized examiner obtained the oral clinical variables. Chewing-stimulated saliva (paraffin method) was collected and the salivary flow rate, pH and buffer capacity were measured. The analysis was performed using non-parametric tests in Stata 9.0.Results: Mean age was 79.1 +/- 9.8 years. Most of the subjects included were women (69.1%). Mean chewing-stimulated salivary flow was 0.75 +/- 0.80 mL/minute, and the pH and buffer capacity were 7.88 +/- 0.83 and 4.20 +/- 1.24, respectively. Mean chewing-stimulated salivary flow varied (p < 0.05) across type of retirement home, tooth brushing frequency, number of missing teeth and use of dental prostheses. pH varied across the type of retirement home (p < 0.05) and marginally by age (p = 0.087); buffer capacity (p < 0.05) varied across type of retirement home, tobacco consumption and the number of missing teeth.Conclusions: These exploratory data add to the body of knowledge with regard to chewing-stimulated salivary features (salivary flow rate, pH and buffer capacity) and outline the variability of those features across selected sociodemographic, socio-economic and behavioural variables in a group of Mexican elders.
