Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The masticatory performance would affect the nutritional status of elderly people. the prevalence of undernutrition among elderly inpatients is %20-50%. Previous related studies investigate the masticatory performance with special chewing gum and self-reported questionnaires. This study observes the correlation of masticatory muscles sEMG, nutritional status, and handgrip force among elderly inpatients.

- elderly inpatients
- description
- Elderly inpatients aged 65 years or older who were able to communicate and were clearly conscious. Elderly individuals who were diagnosed with gastrointestinal (GI) dysfunction, dysphagia, edentulism without rehabilitation with dentures, brain disease, stroke or cancer were excluded due to the possibility of dysphagia, cachexia or masticatory muscle palsy.
