For many authors masticatory dysfunctions are related to reduction in dietary intake with malnutrition as a possible consequence. The aim of the present study was to further investigate the relationships between masticatory performance and nutritional state in complete denture wearers.
Masticatory performance was assessed using a granulometric method in 74 subjects divided into 2 subgroups according to their dental status (normal dentition and complete dental wearers). Nutritional status of study subjects was analyzed with Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA).
There were a significant association between wearing denture and Nutritional Status as assessed by MNA. Using this scale, a risk of malnutrition was found in 80% of subjects wearing complete denture and in 26% in the normal dentition sub group (p < 0.0001). There were also a positive and significant correlation between, the particle size distribution and masticated test food and nutritional status.
Complete denture wearers are at greater risk of malnutrition than did subjects with normal dentition.
对许多作者而言，咀嚼功能障碍与饮食摄入量减少有关，可能导致营养不良。本研究的目的是进一步调查全口义齿佩戴者咀嚼性能与营养状况之间的关系。
采用粒度分析法对74名受试者的咀嚼性能进行评估，根据其牙齿状况（正常牙列和全口义齿佩戴者）将他们分为2个亚组。使用微型营养评定法（MNA）分析研究对象的营养状况。
通过MNA评估发现，佩戴义齿与营养状况之间存在显著关联。使用该量表，发现80%的全口义齿佩戴者存在营养不良风险，而正常牙列亚组中这一比例为26%（p<0.0001）。咀嚼测试食物的粒度分布与营养状况之间也存在显著正相关。
全口义齿佩戴者比正常牙列受试者面临更高的营养不良风险。
