各种天然食品和人工食品通常用于评估咀嚼功能。我们比较了三种天然食物（花生、奶酪和胡萝卜）与标准化人工测试食物（Optocal plus(R)）的吞咽阈值，并研究了咀嚼性能与吞咽阈值之间的关系。87名健康牙齿受试者（男性25名，女性62名，年龄42.0 +/- 12.1岁）。我们评估了牙齿状态，记录了吞咽前咀嚼次数，分析了咀嚼颗粒，并确定了15次咀嚼后和吞咽时Optocal plus(R)的中位颗粒大小（X-50）。结果表明，吞咽每种天然食物前的笔触次数随体积线性增加(P
A variety of both natural and artificial foods are commonly used for the evaluation of masticatory function. We compared swallowing thresholds of three natural foods (peanuts, cheese and carrots) to those of a standardized artificial test food (Optocal plus(R)) and examined the relationship between masticatory performance and the swallowing threshold.Eighty-seven healthy dentate subjects participated (25 men and 62 women, aged 42.0 +/- 12.1 years). We evaluated the dental state, registered the number of chewing strokes used before swallowing, analyzed the chewed particles and determined median particle sizes (X-50) for Optocal plus(R) after 15 chewing strokes and at the moment of swallowing.The results show that the number of strokes used before swallowing each natural food linearly increased with volume (P
