“…First, in a previous modification of the EI, removable dentures were evaluated. However, in a 1993 study of occlusal support in the elderly, Suzuki reported that removable dentures could not provide sufficient occlusal support 11 . In addition, in 1980, Miyata et al .…”

“…It indicates whether the existing teeth form occlusal support zones, specifically whether there is existing natural tooth contact between the maxilla and mandible in the bilateral premolar and molar regions. Recent research has shown that EI in elderly people is associated with occlusal force and masticatory performance 11–16 . However, according to the 2005 Survey of Dental Diseases by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, with aging the number of existing teeth decreases, and that of artificial teeth increases.…”

“…Several reports have shown that the number of remaining teeth is related to the efficiency of mastication (Mumma and Quinton, 1970;Chen and Lowenstein, 1984;Ando et al, 2000;Suzuki et al, 1993;Maeda et al, 1996). The loss of teeth leads to decreased food intake, particularly the intake of dietary fiber and vitamin C (Sheiham and Steel, 2001), due to difficulty with mastication and swallowing.…”

To determine preferred texture of cooked rice, sensory analysis and measurements were conducted using 116 elderly and 81 young individuals. Six types of cooked rice with a significant difference in texture were prepared by cooking rice with a weight of water 1.1 -2.6 times the weight of rice. Seven factors of oral condition, including the number of remaining teeth, occlusal supporting area and occlusal force in dental prescale, were examined. Significant differences in oral condition were observed between the elderly and young individuals. Furthermore, the elderly individuals preferred the texture of rice cooked with 1.9 times the weight of water, while the young preferred the texture of rice cooked with 1.5 times the weight of water. Using these data, the panelists were divided into five groups using a neural network method. The measurements within these stratified groups revealed that oral condition was not necessarily correlated with the preference for cooked rice, which is likely the result of the particular preference among Japanese people for the texture of flavorful cooked rice..

The present study was conducted in order to determine the statistical relationship between chewing activity and activities of daily living (ADL) in the elderly. Subjects which took part were 79 elderly individuals (37 males, 42 females) ranging in age from 65 to 74 years. Based on questionnaires regarding diet, a mastication score was determined to evaluate chewing activity in each subject. This score was scaled from 0 to 100%. ADL levels were determined using two indices: the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of Japan and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology (TMIG) index. The TMIG index is a multidimensional 13-item index of competence in which scores range from 0 to 13 points. According to the guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the independence level of each subject was evaluated as independent, home-bound, or bedridden. These independence levels showed a significant correlation with the mastication score (P < 0.01). The mastication score also significantly correlated with the TMIG index, showing a Spearman coefficient of correlation of 0.63 in males (P < 0.01) and 0.71 in females (P < 0.01). These results suggest that chewing activity is related to ADL levels in elderly subjects.
