饮食摄入量和自我评估的咀嚼困难进行了检查，在一个随机抽样的1000人年龄在65岁及以上居住在阿德莱德，南澳，通过半定量的食物频率问卷调查。回应率为百分之七十七，其中百分之十四的回应者表示假牙不合适，其中百分之三十五表示咀嚼有困难。饮食摄入量在很大程度上与自我评估的咀嚼困难无关，尽管女性咀嚼效率的降低与对甜食和软质食物的偏好有关。对咀嚼能力不满意的人的饮食差异似乎是微妙和定性的（即，将坚硬的食物切成小块或长时间烹饪）。
Dietary intake and self-assessed chewing difficulty were examined in a postal survey of a random sample of 1000 people aged 65 years and over residing in Adelaide, South Australia, by means of a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. The response rate was 77 per cent. Fourteen per cent of the respondents reported poorly fitting dentures, and of these 35% reported difficulty in chewing. Dietary intake was largely independent of self-assessed chewing difficulty, although among women loss of chewing efficiency was associated with preference for sweet and soft foods. Dietary differences in people dissatisfied with their chewing ability appear likely to be subtle and qualitative (i.e., chopping hard foods into small pieces or cooking them for longer periods).
