| Abstract |
We herein examined the relationship between the nutritional status and the oral function among community-dwelling dependent elderly persons. The subjects included 218 community-dwelling dependent elderly persons. The data were collected via questionnaires, including information regarding age, sex, the level of care required, nutritional status and swallowing function. We used the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF) to measure the nutritional status and the Dysphagia Risk Assessment for the Community-dwelling Elderly (DRACE) to evaluate the swallowing function. The tongue pressure and the labial closure force were measured using a tongue pressure measurement system (JMS Co. Ltd., Hiroshima, Japan) and the Lip de Cum (Cosmo-Instruments Co, Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). The mean MNA-SF score was 10.07±2.58. The mean DRACE score was 4.39±3.80. The mean tongue pressure was 23.89±10.61 kPa. The mean labial closure force was 10.17±6.04 N. The results of bivariate regression analyses showed that there was a poor correlation between the MNA-SF and the DRACE, tongue pressure and labial closure force. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis with the MNA-SF as the dependent variable revealed a correlation between the DRACE and labial closure force (p<0.01, R(2)=0.02). Our results suggest that the nutritional status is significantly related to the swallowing function and labial closure force among community-dwelling dependent elderly persons. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 September 2015.
All research outputs
#19,944,994
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Nihon Ronen Igakkai zasshi Japanese journal of geriatrics
#252
of 359 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#252,337
of 359,538 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nihon Ronen Igakkai zasshi Japanese journal of geriatrics
#8
of 11 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 359 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.9. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 359,538 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 11 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
