Abstract

Background: Staying active in daily life is believed to help maintain individuals' oral motor function and prevent oral frailty, a potential risk factor for general health. However, there is limited epidemiological evidence of this association. This study focused on vocalising frequency as an indicator of activeness in daily life.

Methods: We conducted a home-visit survey targeting residents aged ≥ 65 years in a rural community in the Goto Islands, Japan. Among 563 participants, those with missing data for the main outcome or vocalising (n = 84) were excluded. Tongue pressure was measured thrice; we used maximum tongue pressure as a marker of tongue motor function. Frequency of conversation, laughter and other vocalising opportunities (e.g., singing or Buddhist chanting) was measured. The multivariate-adjusted regression models were used to calculate parameter estimates (B) for tongue pressure according to the frequency of vocalisation.

Results: Among the 479 participants, the proportion of individuals who answered 'every day' was 77% for conversation, 48% for laughter and 47% for other vocalising opportunities. Participants engaging every day in other vocalising opportunities recorded higher maximum tongue pressure (B = 2.26; p = 0.03) than those who did not at all. Sex did not affect this association (p interaction = 0.72). Conversation and laughter every day overlapped with the everyday category of other vocalising opportunities, but they were not associated with tongue pressure.

Conclusion: Engaging every day in vocalising opportunities other than conversation or laughter was independently associated with a higher maximum tongue pressure in older adults than those who vocalised less often.

日常生活中谈话、笑和其他发声机会的频率与最大舌压:后藤长寿研究。
背景:在日常生活中保持活跃被认为有助于维持个人的口腔运动功能和预防口腔虚弱,这是一个潜在的健康风险因素。然而,这种关联的流行病学证据有限。本研究将发声频率作为日常生活中活跃度的指标。方法:我们对日本后藤群岛一个农村社区65岁以上的居民进行了家访调查。在563名参与者中,排除了那些缺少主要结果或发声数据的人(n = 84)。舌压测量三次;我们使用最大舌压作为舌运动功能的标志。测量了谈话、笑声和其他发声机会(如唱歌或佛经)的频率。根据发声频率,使用多元调整回归模型计算舌压参数估计值(B)。结果:在479名参与者中,回答“每天”的人占77%,回答“每天”的人占48%,回答“每天”的人占47%,回答“每天”的人占47%。每天有其他发声机会的参与者记录到更高的最大舌压(B = 2.26;P = 0.03)。性别对这种关联没有影响(p交互作用= 0.72)。每天的谈话和笑声与日常的其他发声机会重叠,但它们与舌压无关。结论:与不经常发声的老年人相比,每天在谈话或大笑之外发声的机会与更高的最大舌压独立相关。

期刊介绍: Journal of Oral Rehabilitation aims to be the most prestigious journal of dental research within all aspects of oral rehabilitation and applied oral physiology. It covers all diagnostic and clinical management aspects necessary to re-establish a subjective and objective harmonious oral function. Oral rehabilitation may become necessary as a result of developmental or acquired disturbances in the orofacial region, orofacial traumas, or a variety of dental and oral diseases (primarily dental caries and periodontal diseases) and orofacial pain conditions. As such, oral rehabilitation in the twenty-first century is a matter of skilful diagnosis and minimal, appropriate intervention, the nature of which is intimately linked to a profound knowledge of oral physiology, oral biology, and dental and oral pathology. The scientific content of the journal therefore strives to reflect the best of evidence-based clinical dentistry. Modern clinical management should be based on solid scientific evidence gathered about diagnostic procedures and the properties and efficacy of the chosen intervention (e.g. material science, biological, toxicological, pharmacological or psychological aspects). The content of the journal also reflects documentation of the possible side-effects of rehabilitation, and includes prognostic perspectives of the treatment modalities chosen.
