目的：探讨独立生活老人口腔健康状况与体能的关系。方法：共调查821人。采用问卷调查的方法收集背景因素和咀嚼能力自评的资料。进行口内检查以检查天然牙咬合对的模式。测量握力和单腿睁眼站立时间。以肌力或单腿站立时间为因变量，咬合对模式和自我评估的咀嚼能力为主要自变量，进行逐步线性回归模型。结果..在最终的逐步回归模型中，自我评估的咀嚼能力保留了握力，并在65-74岁的参与者中建立了显着的关系，但咬合对的模式没有保留。咬合对的模式，和自我评估的咀嚼能力保留在最终模型的单腿站立时间，并显着的关系在这里显示。结论：咀嚼能力的自我评估与肌力和静态平衡功能显著相关，咬合对的模式与静态平衡功能显著相关，尤其是65 ~ 74岁的老年人。
Objectives: To show relationships between oral conditions and physical performance in the elderly living independently. Methods: A total of 821 persons participated. Data on background factors and self-assessed masticatory ability were collected by means of questionnaires. An intraoral examination was performed to examine the pattern of occluding pairs of natural teeth. Handgrip strength and one-leg standing time with eyes open were measured. Step-wise linear regression models were conducted with muscle strength or one-leg standing time as the dependent variables; the pattern of occluding pairs and self-assessed masticatory ability as the principal independent variables. Results.. The self-assessed masticatory ability was retained in the final model of the step-wise regression for the handgrip strength, and significant relationships were established in the participants aged 65-74, but the pattern of occluding pairs was not retained. The pattern of occluding pairs, and the self-assessed masticatory ability were retained in the final models for the one-leg standing time, and significant relationships were shown here. Conclusion: The self-assessed masticatory ability may be significantly related to muscle strength and static balance function, and the pattern of occluding pairs may be significantly related to the static balance function, particularly in the elderly aged 65-74.
