The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of the body profile on the whole saliva flow rate in healthy male and female subjects.
The whole saliva flow rate was evaluated under unstimulated (UWSFR) and stimulated conditions by the gum test (SWSFR-GT) and Saxon test (SWSFR-ST), and its correlation with body profiles such as body height (BH), body weight (BW), body surface area (BSA) and body mass index (BMI) was analysed in 100 male and 100 female subjects.
The averages of UWSFR, SWSFR-GT and SWSFR-ST and those of BH, BW, BSA and BMI were significantly larger in males than in females (p<0.0001). No correlation was observed between any of UWSFR, SWSFR-GT and SWSFR-ST and any of BH, BW, BSA and BMI for either males or females. However, UWSFR, SWSFR-GT and SWSFR-ST were significantly correlated with BH, BW and BSA when data from male and female subjects were combined.
The whole saliva flow rate from an individual should only be compared with the data from the group of the same gender.
本研究旨在阐明健康男性和女性个体的体貌特征对全唾液流速的影响。
本研究通过牙龈刺激试验(SWSFR-GT)和萨克斯顿试验(SWSFR-ST)评估了 100 名男性和 100 名女性受试者在非刺激条件下(UWSFR)和刺激条件下(SWSFR-GT)的全唾液流速,并分析了其与体貌特征(如身高[BH]、体重[BW]、体表面积[BSA]和体重指数[BMI])的相关性。
男性的 UWSFR、SWSFR-GT 和 SWSFR-ST 平均值以及 BH、BW、BSA 和 BMI 平均值均显著大于女性(p<0.0001)。对于男性和女性,UWSFR、SWSFR-GT 和 SWSFR-ST 与 BH、BW、BSA 和 BMI 之间均无相关性。然而,当将男性和女性受试者的数据合并时,UWSFR、SWSFR-GT 和 SWSFR-ST 与 BH、BW 和 BSA 显著相关。
个体的全唾液流速只能与同性别组的数据进行比较。
