Age related impairments in ingestion from a large population based-sample
CONCLUSION: Overall, 21.5% and 13.5% of the study population had chewing and/or biting impairments respectively, which might affect food selection and consumption. These findings raise individual and population-based issues. Further studies are needed to assess whether impairment in oral function might increase frailty in older individuals, and also to compare data with those from other countries.PMID:38452933 | DOI:10.1016/j.appet.2024.107287
