    大阪歯科大学Osaka Dental University博士(口腔科学)This study quantitatively and qualitatively clarified the changes in oral function, focusing on masticatory function, from the period of daily life to the time of hospitalization. This study included elderly patients aged 65 years who consumed three meals orally and were being treated in the rehabilitation ward of Wakakusa Tatsuma Rehabilitation Hospital. We conducted a survey on eating habits and oral function at admission and investigated factors related to masticatory ability. Statistical analysis was performed using logistic re-gression analysis and quantification theory III. Logistic regression analysis revealed a significant association between masticatory ability and BMI, ODK/pa/, number of occlusal teeth, and number of hospitalizations to date. Quantification theory III revealed that changes in subjective oral function, relationship with society and medical care, and changes in the oral environment and function associated with hospitalization were related to masticatory ability. The number of teeth present and the duration of hospitalization were related to masticatory ability. These findings indicate that masticatory ability is as-sociated with oral health history and social and medical involvement. Its decline is asso-ciated with changes in oral environment and function due to hospitalization, reduced appetite and decreased food intake. Additionally masticatory ability affects physical function.doctoral thesi
