Abstract

Background/Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between swallowing function and low serum albumin levels in older Japanese people (aged ≥ 75 years). Methods: A total of 3258 participants (1325 males, 1933 females; mean age, 80.8 years) who had a dental checkup in Gifu City, Japan, between April 2020 and March 2021 were recruited. Swallowing function was assessed using the repetitive saliva swallow test, with poor swallowing function defined as swallowing fewer than three times in 30 s. A serum albumin level < 3.6 G/dL was considered low. Results: In total, 78 participants (2%) had a low serum albumin level. Furthermore, after adjusting for age, gender, circulatory disease, support/care-need certification, number of present teeth, and tongue and lip function, a low serum albumin level was positively associated with older (odds ratio [OR]: 1.115; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.064–1.169), male (OR: 2.208; 95% CI: 1.360–3.584), circulatory disease (OR: 1.829; 95% CI: 1.079–3.099), support/care-need certification (OR: 2.087; 95% CI: 1.208–3.606), and poor swallowing function (OR: 2.379; CI: 1.377–4.112). Conclusions: These results indicate that poor swallowing function was associated with a low serum albumin level in older Japanese people aged ≥ 75 years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between an increase in waist circumference (WC) after 1 year and self-reported chewing status in 10,870 Japanese adults who had received health checkups. Subsequently, 8068 participants were included in the final analysis. Methods: We defined an increase in WC ≥ 5 cm after 1 year as an unhealthy increase; in total, 613 (7.5%) respondents met this criterion. Chewing status was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire at baseline; 1080 (13%) respondents were diagnosed with poor chewing status. Results: After adjusting for age, gender, WC, body mass index (BMI), and chewing status, an increase in WC ≥ 5 cm was found to be positively associated with gender (females: odds ratios [ORs]: 1.206; 95% confidence intervals [CIs]: 1.008–1.443), WC (ORs: 0.967; 95% CIs: 0.954–0.981), BMI (≥25 kg/m2; ORs: 2.194; 95% CIs: 1.715–2.808), and chewing status (poor; ORs: 1.356; 95% CIs: 1.084–1.697). Conclusions: These findings suggest that increased WC after 1 year was associated with self-reported poor chewing status in Japanese adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between white matter lesion (s WMLs) and selfreported chewing status among Japanese adults. The participants were 570 individuals (369 males, 201 females; mean age, 54.0 years) who underwent brain dock checkups at Asahi University Hospital Human Health Center between April 2019 and March 2020. The presence of WMLs was confirmed by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in brain dock checkups. Chewing status was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire. WMLs were found in 272 participant (s 48%). Presence of WMLs was positively related with age (older; odds ratio [OR], 1.130; 95% confidence interva [l CI], 1.100 to 1.161), body mass index (BMI) (higher; OR, 1.103; 95%CI, 1.038 to 1.171), and chewing status (difficulty; OR, 2.794; 95%CI, 1.617 to 4.827) after adjusting for gender, HbA1c, hypertension, heart disease, and medication history. Furthermore, the proportion of participants with chewing difficulty increased according to WML grade (p < 0.001). In conclusion, presence of WMLs in Japanese adults showed a relationship with self-reported chewing difficulty.
