BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: To identify age-related changes in maximum tongue pressure (MTP), it is necessary to determine individual biological age. The fitness age score (FAS) is used to calculate the biological age, based on the one-leg standing time with eyes open, vertical jump height, grip strength, functional reach, and 10-m walk time.
The study included 112 community-dwelling elderly adults (42 males and 70 females). We investigated MTP, FAS, and body mass index (BMI) at baseline and 5 years later. MTP was determined with a pressure measurement device.
A significant reduction in MTP, FAS, and BMI in both male and female subjects was observed at 5 years. A negative correlation between change in MTP and baseline MTP was observed, but there was no correlation between MTP change and baseline FAS, BMI, and change in FAS and BMI.
Age-related decline in MTP might be associated with high MTP, reflecting decreased reserve. Additionally, age-related decline in tongue function might be different from that of physical function.
背景/目的：为了确定最大舌压（MTP）与年龄相关的变化，有必要确定个体的生物学年龄。健康年龄评分（FAS）用于根据睁眼单腿站立时间、垂直跳高度、握力、功能性伸展和10米步行时间来计算生物学年龄。
该研究纳入了112名社区居住的老年人（42名男性和70名女性）。我们在基线和5年后调查了MTP、FAS和体重指数（BMI）。使用压力测量装置测定MTP。
在5年时，男性和女性受试者的MTP、FAS和BMI均显著降低。观察到MTP变化与基线MTP之间呈负相关，但MTP变化与基线FAS、BMI以及FAS和BMI的变化之间无相关性。
与年龄相关的MTP下降可能与较高的MTP有关，反映储备能力下降。此外，与年龄相关的舌功能下降可能与身体功能下降不同。
