Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the influence of weight, height and body mass index in the axial tongue force.

Methods: Medical records with data from 44 subjects aged between 20 and 37 years, 11 (25%) males and 33 (75%) female, were analyzed. The investigated information were weight, height, result of clinical evaluation for tongue force (lingual tonus) and instrumental assessment of axial tongue force, which was accomplished by using the FORLING. Data was statistically analyzed.

Results: No differences were observed between the force values regarding the variables body mass index classification and clinical classification of tongue force. Body mass index and weight had positive correlation with mean tongue force. There was a strong positive correlation between the variables mean force, maximum force and highest maximum force.

Conclusion: Although body mass index and weight correlated positively with the mean axial tongue force, there was no association between body mass index classification and the axial tongue forces.

身高、体重和体质指数对舌轴力的影响。

目的:分析体重、身高、体质指数对舌轴力的影响。方法:对44例20 ~ 37岁患者的病历资料进行分析，其中男性11例(25%)，女性33例(75%)。调查的信息包括体重、身高、舌力(舌张力)的临床评估结果和舌轴力的仪器评估，这些都是用FORLING完成的。对数据进行统计学分析。结果:舌力在体重指数分型和舌力临床分型两项变量上均无差异。体重指数、体重与平均舌力呈正相关。平均力、最大力和最大力三者之间存在较强的正相关关系。结论:虽然体重指数和体重与平均舌轴力呈正相关，但体重指数分类与舌轴力无相关性。
