“…Next, the occlusal contact area and bite force were selected as the pre-nal factors. Better oral-related factors, such as the number of remaining teeth [27][28][29][30] and tongue pressure [39], indicate better cognitive function. Among these participants, the number of remaining teeth was the easiest to assess and provided the most reliable evidence.…”

Purpose Developing quantitative indicators of daily life that can detect subtle cognitive decline is a significant challenge in the growing population of older adults worldwide. In this multifaceted survey conducted on active older adults, we aimed to explore novel indicators associated with subtle abnormalities in brief dementia screening tests. Methods Data were collected from 35 older adults who were not certified for long-term care or diagnosed with cognitive impairment using questionnaires, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), body composition measurements, sleep apnoea testing, activity monitoring, motor function assessments, blood tests, and nutrient analyses. Of the 89 factors examined in this study, several less invasive indicators for cognitive impairment were identified using Spearman’s correlation analysis, two-group comparison, and multiple linear regression model analysis. Results An elevated minimum pulse rate during sleep emerged as the most significant non-invasive marker correlated with both MMSE scores and the classification of cognitive impairment risk (mild cognitive impairment or dementia). Conclusion These findings could expedite further research into early cognitive decline detection among older adults and facilitate early intervention.

Background: Developing quantitative indicators of daily life that detect subtle cognitive decline is an important challenge in today's growing population of older adults worldwide. In this study, we aimed to explore novel candidates for indicators associated with subtle abnormalities in brief dementia screening test. Methods: This was a multifaceted cross-sectional study. Data were collected from 35 older adults who had not been certified for long-term care or diagnosed with cognitive impairment usingquestionnaires, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), body composition measurements, sleep apnoea testing, activity monitoring, motor function assessments, blood tests, and nutrient analyses. Of the 89 factors examined in this study, several less invasive indicators for cognitive impairment were identified using Spearman’s correlation analysis, two-group comparison, and multiple linear regression model analysis. Results: An increased minimum pulse rate during sleep was found to be the most important non-invasive marker associated with both the correlation with MMSE scores and the risk classification of cognitive impairment (mild cognitive impairment or dementia). Conclusions: The minimum pulse rate during sleep is easily detectable owing to recent developments and widespread use of wearable devices. The results of this study will not only provide opportunities for older adults and their families to recognise slight cognitive decline but will also contribute to the early detection of cognitive decline, as a guide for the development of research evaluating the detection sensitivity and specificity of these indicators.

Background: We examined the factors associated with low tongue pressure to clarify its association with physical abnormalities in adolescent and young adult women. Methods: This study enrolled 92 women aged 10–20 years. Following the collection of anthropometric data, measurements were performed, including grip strength, maximum occlusal force, maximum tongue pressure, and masticatory performance. Based on the Rohrer index and body mass index (BMI), the participants were divided into normal weight, underweight, and overweight/obese groups. Low tongue pressure was defined as the bottom 20th percentile of maximum tongue pressure. After univariate analyses, factors associated with low tongue pressure were identified using multivariate binomial logistic regression analysis. Results: In the bivariate analysis, maximum tongue pressure was significantly positively correlated with grip strength (r = 0.407, p < 0.05). Binomial logistic regression analysis revealed that factors associated with low tongue pressure included being underweight (odds ratio [OR] = 7.451, p = 0.005, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.857–29.898), being overweight/obese (OR = 18.384, p = 0.004, 95% CI = 2.483–136.112), and having lower grip strength (OR = 0.864, p = 0.015, 95% CI = 0.768–0.972). Conclusions: Low tongue pressure is closely associated with being underweight, being overweight, and having lower grip strength among young women.
