To analyse the state of dentition and related aspects and to study their influence on the dietary intake of nutrients.
In the second cross-sectional measurement of SENECA's follow-up study, 12 research towns in 10 European countries and one town in Connecticut (USA) participated, involving 1424 elderly men and women born between 1913 and 1918. Dentition-related data were obtained from a general questionnaire; nutritional data were collected using a standardized modified dietary history.
A large variation in the dental state existed among the towns. Women were more often edentulous and had fewer teeth. Self-reported chewing difficulties varied enormously. Most complaints were found in: women, edentulous subjects without dentures and in the towns in Spain, Portugal and Poland. More dentate women reported having visited their dentist. In the edentulous groups, differences between towns were small; for the dentate groups the percentage of dental visits varied from 0 in Coimbra (Portugal) to 96 in Mansfield (Connecticut/USA). For the edentulous subjects without any prosthetic supply, intakes of carbohydrate and vitamin B6 were significantly reduced. Also intakes of vitamin B1, vitamin C, dietary fibre, calcium and iron tended to be lower in this group. Town-dentition interactions existed for most nutrients.
Substantial differences existed between towns in the influence of dentition on dietary intake.
分析牙列状况及相关方面，并研究其对营养素膳食摄入的影响。
在SENECA随访研究的第二次横断面测量中，来自10个欧洲国家的12个研究城镇以及美国康涅狄格州的1个城镇参与其中，涉及1913年至1918年出生的1424名老年男性和女性。牙列相关数据通过一般问卷获取；营养数据采用标准化改良饮食史进行收集。
各城镇之间的牙齿状况存在很大差异。女性无牙的情况更为常见，牙齿数量也较少。自我报告的咀嚼困难差异极大。大多数问题出现在：女性、无假牙的无牙受试者以及西班牙、葡萄牙和波兰的城镇。更多有牙的女性报告看过牙医。在无牙组中，城镇之间的差异较小；对于有牙组，看牙医的比例从葡萄牙科英布拉的0%到美国康涅狄格州曼斯菲尔德的96%不等。对于没有任何假牙的无牙受试者，碳水化合物和维生素B6的摄入量显著降低。该组中维生素B1、维生素C、膳食纤维、钙和铁的摄入量也往往较低。大多数营养素存在城镇 - 牙列相互作用。
牙列对膳食摄入的影响在各城镇之间存在显著差异。
