Given the changes in the digestive tract post-bariatric surgery, adapting to a new pattern of eating behavior becomes crucial, with special attention to the specifics of chewing mechanics. This study aimed to investigate the association between self-perception of chewing, chewing behavior, and the presence of gastrointestinal symptoms in preoperative patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Sixty adult candidates for bariatric surgery at a public hospital in Belém (Brazil) were analyzed. Participants predominantly exhibited unilateral chewing patterns (91.6%), a fast chewing rhythm (73.3%), a large food bolus (80%), liquid intake during meals (36.7%), and 41.7% reported that chewing could cause some issue. Significant associations were found between the perception of causing problems and chewing scarcity ( = 0.006), diarrhea ( = 0.004), absence of slow chewing ( = 0.048), and frequent cutting of food with front teeth ( = 0.034). These findings reveal a relationship between the perception of chewing problems and chewing scarcity, presence of diarrhea, and fast chewing.
考虑到减肥手术后消化道的变化，适应新的饮食行为模式变得至关重要，尤其要注意咀嚼机制的细节。本研究旨在调查减肥手术术前患者的咀嚼自我认知、咀嚼行为与胃肠道症状之间的关联。对巴西贝伦一家公立医院的60名成年减肥手术候选者进行了分析。参与者主要表现出单侧咀嚼模式（91.6%）、快速咀嚼节奏（73.3%）、大口食物团（80%）、进餐时饮水（36.7%），41.7%的人报告咀嚼会引发一些问题。在引发问题的认知与咀嚼不足（P = 0.006）、腹泻（P = 0.004）、缺乏慢咀嚼（P = 0.048）以及频繁用门牙切割食物（P = 0.034）之间发现了显著关联。这些发现揭示了咀嚼问题认知与咀嚼不足、腹泻的存在以及快速咀嚼之间的关系。
