Abstract

PURPOSE

To analyze the maximum axial force, the mean axial force, the amount of energy accumulated by the tongue, and the time taken to reach the maximum axial force, in different age ranges.

METHODS

The records of 92 individuals - students, staff and visitors at an university -, 29 (32.6%) men and 63 (67.4%) women, with ages between 14 and 53 years old, were analyzed. Subjects were divided into four age groups: 14 to 18 years, 19 to 23 years, 24 to 28 years, and 29 to 53 years. Each subject underwent clinical and instrumental assessment of the tongue. Instrumental assessment used FORLING. Data were statistically analyzed.

RESULTS

Regarding the maximum force, the mean force and the tongue's accumulated energy, no differences were observed between groups. Regarding the time taken to reach the maximum force, the greatest values were obtained at the age range from 14 to 18 years (4.5 s), and the shortest values, at the age range from 19 to 23 years (3.1 s), with significant difference between the groups (p=0.001).

CONCLUSION

Only the time taken to reach the tongue's maximum force is influenced by age range, indicating that teenagers are not able to reach the maximum lingual force as fast as young adults.

摘要

目的

分析不同年龄范围内的最大轴向力、平均轴向力、舌头积累的能量以及达到最大轴向力所需的时间。

方法

分析了92名个体（一所大学的学生、教职员工和访客）的记录，其中男性29名（32.6%），女性63名（67.4%），年龄在14至53岁之间。受试者被分为四个年龄组：14至18岁、19至23岁、24至28岁和29至53岁。对每个受试者的舌头进行了临床和仪器评估。仪器评估使用了FORLING。对数据进行了统计分析。
