Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate factors affecting the assessment of objective and subjective masticatory ability in the elderly, and to evaluate masticatory ability assessment more accurately. Methods: A total of 112 participants were recruited after oral examination in senior citizen welfare facilities. The participants' masticatory ability was evaluated objectively (Mixing ability index; MAI), and subjectively (Key food intake ability; KFIA). Participants' general characteristics and oral health-related variables were also recorded. Based on masticatory ability assessment, participants were classified as either high or low. IBM SPSS Statistics Ver.23.0 was used for all analyses, including descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman rank correlation, and Logistic regression analysis. Results: Higher masticatory ability was positively correlated with higher scores on MAI and KFIA. Additionally, there was a significant positive correlation between MAI and KFIA. When analyzing factors affecting objective and subjective masticatory ability assessments, Functional tooth units (FTUs) were revealed as a related factor. In subjective masticatory ability assessment, oral moisture, difficulty in chewing, and the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) were also influential factors. Conclusions: In order to accurately assess masticatory ability, it is necessary to use both objective and subjective measures. Additionally, to improve the masticatory ability in the elderly, treatment should be provided to improve overall oral health and satisfaction.

The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of a nursing intervention using sensory stimulation in dysphagic patients. Quasi-experimental with a nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. 15 patients of each group were assigned for this study, who were hospitalized in the oriental medicine hospital of K. University. Specific stimulation plans were devised based on a dysfunctional area of the subjects. For each modality, subjects were systematically stimulated for 30 minutes, in the experimental group prior to each meal and 3 times per day for a week. The data were analyzed by SPSS PC program using $X^2$-test, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and Mann-Whitney U test. The results of this study are as follows : 1. The tongue control score of the experimental group is greater than that of the control group(u=52.0, p=.007). 2. The score of chewing ability, lip control, swallowing ability of the experimental group is greater than that of the control group. But no difference is statistically seen between the experimental group and control group. Therefore, this study shows that sensory stimulation using icing, quick stretch, etc., was effective in improving or oropharyngeal function in patients with dysphagia.

The issue of health and nutritional wellbeing becomes one of the utmost concerns for the welfare of the elderly in a society of increased aging populations. This study was conducted to assess nutritional state and to identify possible dietary factors that might influence health and nutritional state of the free living elderly women. Two hundred sixty two elderly women, aged 60-90 who are actively participating in a continuing education program for the elderly in Seoul area, were interviewed using a dietary habit questionnaire and a 24-hour recall. Anthropometric measurements such as heights, weights, body mass index, and tricep skinfolds and dental status were significantly different between the two age groups, <75 and ${\geq}$ 75 years of age. Sixty eight percent of the subjects were using nutritional supplements regularly, in the descending order of vitamin-mineral supplements(40%), botanicals(27.6%), tonic drinks(16%), and health foods(13.2%). For hot beverages, our study subjects drank coffee (33.6%) and green tea (17.9%) frequently, followed by doongulae, job's tears, citron and kyulmyung tea. With regard to micronutrients, vitamin C intake was found to be lower in the group aged over 75 compared to that below 75 (p<0.05). Calcium intake was significantly higher among the elderly with good dental status followed by the groups with gingivitis, denture, and missed teeth with poor chewing abilities (p<0.05). The amount of personal spending money was found to be a significant contributing factor (p<0.05) to the energy and nutrient intake in an individual. The results of the present study can be applied to the identification of the possible factors that might intervene the aging process, to the planning of the nutrition education program, and to the development of health food products for the promotion of health and nutrition of the elderly women.

According to the burst of aged people, researchers have focused on aging-related diseases. Cognitive impairment including Alzheimer's disease (AD), one of the representative diseases related to aging, has no treatment option until now. Recently, it has been revealed that systemic inflammation plays a fundamental role in the pathogenesis of AD. Previous studies have suggested the association between poor oral health and cognitive impairment. Poor oral health can cause dental caries, chronic periodontitis, multiple tooth loss, and poor chewing ability, etc. Especially, periodontitis is a well-known chronic inflammatory disease and affects cognitive impairment directly and indirectly by inflammatory products mediators. Therefore, reduction of pathogenic microbial burden and inflammatory products by treating periodontitis can be a therapeutic modality to prevent cognitive impairment or to slow down the progression of it. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the causal relations and plausible mechanisms between poor oral health and cognitive impairment.

To determine the optimum condition for buckwheat noodle making, we prepared noodle from com posite flours of buckwheat, wheat and corn starch, and those physical properties and sensory evalua tion were investigated. The weights of cooked noodle became lower with increasing buckwheat content level indicating that elution of its components to soup was high. Wheat flour in the composite flours probably caused to drop gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buck wheat flours. Corn starch in the composite flours increase gelatinization temperature and maximum viscosity compared to buckwheat flours. From the result of farinogram, buckwheat flour lower water absorption ability, and increased dough development time compared to composite flours. Adhesiveness of the cooked noodle with wheat flour was decreased. Cohesiveness of the cooked noodle was decrea sed with increasing buckwheat flour level. In sensory evaluation, chewing and softness of noodle with 100% buckwheat flour was evaluated the best. In taste, BW1 and BSW1 noodles showed slightly higher preference although there was no significant differences.

Background: Supporting the elderly population is presented as a social issue, and it affects age discrimination, which forms a negative perception and avoids the elderly. Since age discrimination lowers the quality of life of the elderly and hinders social unity, it may be important to research related factors. This study examined the physical function as a factor that influences discrimination experiences and aimed to identify the relationship between physical function factors and discrimination experiences. Methods: In this study, we analyzed 20,225 elderly from the 2014 and 2017 survey of living conditions and welfare needs of Korean older persons, conducted nationwide among older than 65 years. Physical function factors are activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, sight discomfort, hearing discomfort, chewing discomfort, and leg strength as factors of interest. We performed multivariable logistic regression that reflected survey characteristics, adjusting for socio-demographic factors, health related factors, and social-support factors. Results: The number of elderly who faced discrimination experiences was 1,175 (5.8%). The results showed that the odds ratio of facing a discrimination experience in the dependent group was significantly higher compared to the independent group when being transferring out of the room (4.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.50-10.88) and difficulty in hearing (1.25; 95% CI, 1.05-1.49). Even with respect to chewing ability, which was significant in models 1 and 2, they face more discrimination experiences (1.30; 95% CI, 1.11-1.53). Conclusion: These research results indicate that an important strategy for preventing age discrimination is to understand the physical function conditions of the elderly and promote the physical functions of the elderly related to transferring, hearing, and chewing; it is necessary to develop a practical intervention plan that considers these aspects.

본 연구에서는 최근 Sato 등이 고안한 mixing ability index(MAI)를 이용하여 측두하악장애 환자 중 통증이 있는 군과 무통성 관절잡음이 있는 군을 대상으로 객관적인 저작 효율을 정상인으로 구성된 대조군과 비교하고, 주관적인 평가 방법인 설문조사법 중에서 음식섭취가능지수(Food Intake Ability Index, FIA)와 저작 능력에 대한 주관적 인식도 평가(Visual Analogue Scale, VAS)를 이용하여 저작 효율을 평가하고, 구강건강과 관련된 삶의 질을 평가하기 위해 Oral Health Impact Profile(OHIP)-49K 설문조사를 시행하였다. 각 평가 방법 간의 상관성을 알아보고, 또한 통증군에 있어서는 치료 후 통증이 감소함에 따라 저작 효율의 변화 양상을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. MAI, FIA, VAS는 통증군이 정상군에 비해 통계학적으로 유의하게 감소하였으며, 관절잡음군보다도 감소하여 통증군이 정상군과 관절잡음군에 비해 저작 효율이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 관절잡음군에서는 MAI, FIA, VAS에서 정상군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 2. 구강건강관련 삶의 질에 대한 설문지인 OHIP-49K의 경우 정상군에 비해 통증군과 관절잡음군 모두 통계학적으로 유의하게 증가하여 구강건강과 관련한 삶의 질이 떨어지는 것으로 나타났다. 3. 전체 대상자(71명)에서 객관적 저작 능력 평가 방법인 MAI와 주관적 저작 능력 평가 방법인 FIA와 VAS간에는 서로 유의성 있는 상관관계를 보였다(P<0.01). OHIP-49K에서도 MAI를 제외하고 모두 통계학적으로 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 관절잡음군에서는 FIA와 VAS에서만 통계학적으로 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며(P<0.01), 이외의 모든 항목은 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 5. 각 평가 방법 간의 상관성에서 FIA와 VAS는 전체 대상자, 통증군, 관절잡음군 모두에서 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 6. 통증군에서 치료 전에 비해 치료 후 통증 감소와 함께 VAS에서는 통계학적으로 유의성 있게 증가 하였다(P<0.05). 반면에 MAI에 있어서는 저작 효율이 증가하는 경향을 보였으나 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 또한 FIA, OHIP-49K에서도 치료 전과 후 통증 감소에 따른 변화는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이번 연구를 통하여 측두하악장애 환자에서 저작 효율을 감소시키는 주요인은 통증이며, 관절잡음은 저작 효율을 감소시키는 요인은 아니지만 삶의 질을 저하시키는 한 요인으로 작용한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 측두하악장애 환자에서 저작 효율을 개선시키기 위해서는 우선적으로 통증을 치료하는 것이 가장 중요하며, 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해서는 통증뿐만 아니라 관절잡음에 대한 관리도 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
