"Latar Belakang: Komponen terbesar pada indeks DMFT ialah kehilangan gigi dan terjadi paling banyak pada kelompok lansia. Kehilangan gigi dapat mempengaruhi kemampuan dalam mengunyah makanan sehingga berdampak pada kurangnya asupan nutrisi. Metode: Metode potong lintang yang dilakukan di 4 Puskesmas di wilayah Jakarta Pusat, Jakarta Selatan dan Jakarta Timur. Jumlah subjek lansia ialah sebanyak 93 subjek dan didapatkan melalui teknik convenience sampling. Pada subjek dilakukan pemeriksaan intraoral, pengukuran antropometri BMI dan diwawancara menggunakan kuesioner Mini Nutritional Assessment MNA. Hasil: Ditemukan bahwa 53,8 subjek masih memiliki jumlah gigi sebanyak 20 buah atau lebih. Sebanyak 55,9 subjek memiliki risiko terhadap malnutrisi. Hasil uji korelasi menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara jumlah gigi yang tersisa, gigi karies, gigi hilang, gigi yang ditambal dan kemampuan mastikasi p > 0,05 dengan status nutrisi. Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan antara status kesehatan gigi dan mulut dan kemampuan mastikasi terhadap status nutrisi pada lansia.

Objective: A reduction in the number of posterior teeth is associated with diminished nutrition intake, nutritional status, and masticatory performance in the elderly. Previous studies on the relationships between tooth loss, nutrition intake, nutritional status, and masticatory performance have yield varying results. Methods: A total of 158 subjects aged 60 years and older from Depok, West Java, Indonesia were enrolled in the study. Posterior tooth contacts were assessed based, and the subjects were accordingly divided into two groups based on the Eichner Index; group A2-B3 and group B4-C3. A semi-quantitative food-frequency questionnaire was used to measure nutritional intake in the form of total calories, and the Mini-Nutritional Assessment-Short Form was used to measure nutritional status. Results: Seventy-four percent of participants were females, and the remaining (26%) were males. A significant difference in the mean masticatory performance score (p = 0.000) was noted between Eichner group A2-B3 (5.66 ± 1.80) and B4-C3 (3.20 ± 1.25). However, no statistically significant differences in nutritional status and calorie intake were noted between the two groups. Conclusion: These findings indicate that the number of teeth lost is related to mastication, but not to nutritional status or calorie intake in the elderly."

"Latar Belakang: Kemampuan mastikasi telah dipelajari secara luas dalam dekade terakhir. Kemampuan mastikasi dipengaruhi oleh beberapa faktor antara lain usia, jenis kelamin, jumlah gigi dan oklusi, area kontak pada oklusal, kehilangan gigi dan restorasi pada gigi posterior, laju alir saliva, serta penurunan fungsi motorik oral seiring dengan proses penuaan. Rehabilitasi prostodontik dengan gigi tiruan cekat maupun gigi tiruan lepasan berfungsi untuk meningkatkan kemampuan mastikasi pada individu dengan kehilangan gigi sebagian maupun menyeluruh. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan antara kemampuan mastikasi dengan usia, jenis kelamin, OHI-S, DMF-T, pemakaian gigi tiruan, dan kondisi gigi tiruan. Metode: 152 subjek 60 laki-laki dan 92 perempuan berusia 17 tahun ke atas rerata SD = 33,4 13,1 tahun berpartisipasi dalam uji kemampuan mastikasi menggunakan color-changeable chewing gum.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between oral health literacy(OHL), oral healthstatus, and oral health behavior of independent elderly.

Methods: Cross-sectional study involved 195 independent living elderly in Depok aged 60 and above. The subjects completed a self-administered questionnaire collectin information about socio-demographics, Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-29) questionnaire to assessed oral health literacy, and oral health behavior questionnaire by interviewing subjects. Oral health status was recorded by clinical oral examination using DMF-T index, CPI-modified, denture status, OHI-S, and the masticatory performance wasassessed subjectively.

Results: Oral health literacy mean score in this study is 3,45±0,67. The Cronbachs alpha = 0.945. The discriminant validity were confirmed by HeLD scores being significantly associated with mastication ability(p<0.01). The convergent validity were confirmed by HeLD score being significantly associated with amount of tooth loss, DMF-T score, and mastication ability (p<0,01) also with amount of filled teeth (p<0,05). There were correlations between some HeLD-29 domain with oral health status. There were significant differences of amount of tooth loss (M-T), amount of filled teeth (F-T), and amount of deep pocket between the group with low oral health literacy and the group with high oral health literacy (p<0,05). Statistical differences were also found between oral health literacy mean score amongst age and education level group. There were also correlations between DMF-T score and dental visits and between amount of bleeding on probing and smoking status of the subjects.

Conclusion: Oral health literacy was associated with oral health status and the socio-demographics such as age and education level there is a relationship between oral health status and oral health behavior in independent elderly."

"Latar Belakang: Perubahan kondisi rongga mulut akibat penuaan dapat menyebabkan penurunan fungsi mastikasi pada lansia. Penurunan kemampuan mastikasi dapat menyebabkan kesulitan menggigit, mengunyah, dan menelan makanan sehingga memengaruhi pemilihan jenis makanan. Hal ini diyakini dapat memengaruhi kecukupan asupan nutrisi sehingga pada akhirnya dapat juga berpengaruh terhadap kelainan status nutrisi. Tujuan: Menganalisis hubungan kemampuan mastikasi dengan status nutrisi lansia yang dievaluasi menggunakan Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) dan hubungan keduanya berdasarkan kehilangan gigi (indeks Eichner), pemakaian gigi tiruan, dan faktor sosiodemografi (jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, dan status ekonomi). Metode: Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode potong lintang pada 100 pasien berusia ≥ 60 tahun di Puskesmas Kramat Jati, Jakarta Timur. Pada subjek dilakukan pengambilan data diri, pemeriksaan rongga mulut, pengukuran tinggi dan berat badan, serta wawancara untuk mengisi kuesioner Alat Ukur Kemampuan Mastikasi dan MNA-SF. Hasil: Uji Kruskal Wallis menunjukkan kemampuan mastikasi memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan status nutrisi (p = 0,009). Hubungan yang bermakna juga terdapat antara kedua variabel tersebut yaitu berdasarkan jenis kelamin perempuan (p = 0,040) dan pada kelompok yang tidak memakai gigi tiruan (p = 0,014). Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan kemampuan mastikasi dengan status nutrisi lansia.

Background: Changes in the condition of the oral cavity due to aging can cause a decrease in the function of mastication in the elderly. Decreased ability of mastication can cause difficulty biting, chewing, and swallowing food, which affects the choice of food. This is believed to affect the adequacy of nutrient intake so that in the end it can also affect abnormalities in nutritional status.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between mastication ability and nutritional status of the elderly evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-Form (MNA-SF) and their relationship based on tooth loss (Eichner index), denture use, and sociodemographic factors (sex, education level, and economic status).

Methods: This study was conducted using a cross-sectional method for 100 patients aged ≥ 60 years at the Kramat Jati Health Center, East Jakarta. Subjects were collected for self data, oral cavity examination, height and weight measurements, and interviews to fill in the Mastery Ability Measurement and MNA-SF questionnaire.

Results: The Kruskal Wallis test showed the ability of mastication to have a significant relationship with nutritional status (p = 0.009). A significant relationship also exists between the two variables based on the female sex (p = 0.040) and in the group that does not use dentures (p = 0.014).

Conclusion: There is a relationship between the ability of mastication with the nutritional status of the elderly."
