“…First, the adjusted coefficient of determination in the multiple linear regression analysis was 0.21, indicating the existence of other factors related to masticatory performance. Masticatory performance has been associated with malocclusion [41,42], mandibular movement [43,44], and the occlusal contact area [45]. Furthermore, after adjusting for the maximum occlusal force and tongue pressure, which tended to be higher in males than in females [19,21,33], sex was identified as a significant factor, indicating that masticatory performance is related to other sex-specific factors, such as eating behavior which differs according to sex [46].…”

Mastication is a comprehensive process comprising multiple factors, including individual oral functions such as the maximum occlusal force and tongue pressure and tongue-lip motor function. Exploring their interrelationship is important for understanding the impact of these factors on masticatory performance. However, few studies have focused on these factors in adolescents and young adults. Only one study has investigated the development of masticatory performance in 6-17-year-olds according to sex [9]. Furthermore, although multivariate analysis has been used to identify factors J Prosthodont Res. 2022; **(**):

“…This issue of JPR addresses a variety of topics, particularly regarding elderly people, including a study to develop a simple screening test for mastication [4], image analysis to clarify the effects of food particle loss on the evaluation of masticatory ability [5], and finding an association between abnormal masticatory movement and oral/physical function, possibly influenced by central motor control [6]. Interestingly, Padmanabhan et al [7] observed superior sensory feedback and improved cognitive performance in edentulous patients with implant-retained overdentures compared with those with conventional complete dentures.…”

“…Among the elderly, chewing ability generally decreases due to tooth loss and decreased tongue motor function, which results in oral frailty. Previous studies reported the relationship between the oral and physical function of older adults [11][12][13]. These scholars proposed that chewing ability is an explanatory factor for handgrip strength even after adjusting for whole body muscle mass [14].…”

Background: Identifying older adults with a high risk of falling and providing them with appropriate intervention are vital measures for preventing fall incidents. Scholars report that oral frailty, a decline in oral function, is related to physical function; thus, it bears a potential association with fall risks. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between fall incidents and the status of physical and oral frailty among a sample of residents in Osaka Prefecture. Subjects and Methods: This study targeted community-dwelling people aged 50 years and older who responded to an annual questionnaire survey using a health app for 2 consecutive years, namely, 2020 and 2021. This study analyzed responses from 7591 (62 ± 7 years) participants and determined the status of their oral frailty and comprehensive and physical frailty using the Kihon Checklist. Results: In the 2020 and 2021 surveys, 17% and 19% of the participants exhibited oral frailty and experienced a fall in the previous year, respectively. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that oral frailty (adjusted odds ratio: 1.553) and physical frailty as well as low levels of awareness of frailty were significant explanatory variables of the occurrence of fall incidents during the subsequent year. Conclusions: Future studies are required to elucidate the mechanisms by which oral frailty induces fall incidents.
