The association of candy weight loss rate (CWLR) with whole saliva flow rates (WSFRs) was analyzed.
The unstimulated whole saliva flow rate (UWSFR), stimulated whole saliva flow rate by the gum test (SWSFR-GT) and stimulated whole saliva flow rate by the Saxon test (SWSFR-ST) were measured in 300 healthy young adults. CWLR was measured by passively holding sugar candy between the tongue dorsum and hard palate. The degree of discomfort was evaluated by the visual analog scale.
CWLR was significantly correlated with UWSFR, SWSFR-GT, and SWSFR-ST with Pearson's correlation coefficients of 0.1847 (P = .0013), 0.2097 (P = .0003), and 0.2332 (P < .0001), respectively; however, these were much smaller than those of 0.6858 (P < .0001) between UWSFR and SWSFR-GT, 0.5071 (P < .0001) between UWSFR and SWSFR-ST, and 0.5424 (P < .0001) between SWSFR-GT and SWSFR-ST. The degree of discomfort was significantly lower in the measurement of CWLR than in any WSFRs (P < .0001).
CWLR cannot be used as an independent alternative to WSFRs, although it can be measured with less discomfort.
分析糖果减重率(CWLR)与全唾液流速(WSFRs)之间的关联。
对300名健康年轻成年人测量了非刺激性全唾液流速(UWSFR)、通过嚼口香糖测试的刺激性全唾液流速(SWSFR - GT)和通过撒克逊测试的刺激性全唾液流速(SWSFR - ST)。通过将糖果被动含于舌背与硬腭之间来测量CWLR。采用视觉模拟量表评估不适程度。
CWLR与UWSFR、SWSFR - GT和SWSFR - ST显著相关,Pearson相关系数分别为0.1847(P = 0.0013)、0.2097(P = 0.0003)和0.2332(P < 0.0001);然而,这些相关性远小于UWSFR与SWSFR - GT之间的0.6858(P < 0.0001)、UWSFR与SWSFR - ST之间的0.5071(P < 0.0001)以及SWSFR - GT与SWSFR - ST之间的0.5424(P < 0.0001)。CWLR测量中的不适程度显著低于任何WSFRs测量中的不适程度(P < 0.0001)。
尽管CWLR测量时不适程度较低,但不能作为WSFRs的独立替代指标。
