Data Analysis
RESULTS
Relationship between measurement results and age
- 1)
- Labial pressure during ingestion The mean value of labial pressure during ingestion was 6.6 ± 4.2 kPa in the control group (men: 8.0 ± 5.3, women: 5.7 ± 3.2), 11.2 ± 8.9 in the elderly group (men: 10.5 ± 8.7, women: 11.3 ± 8.9), and 7.9 ± 4.8 in the elderly needing care group (men: 8.5 ± 5.0, women: 7.6 ± 4.7). There was no significant difference in sex among all groups (Fig. 4).
- 2)
- Coefficient of variation The mean value of the coefficient of variation of labial pressure during ingestion was 0.26 ± 0.14 in the control group (men: 0.25 ± 0.12, women: 0.27 ± 0.21), 0.34 ± 0.17 in the elderly group (men: 0.37 ± 0.21, women: 0.32 ± 0.14), and 0.34 ± 0.19 in the elderly needing care group (men: 0.36 ± 0.18, women: 0.34 ± 0.21). There was no significant difference in sex among all groups (Fig. 5).
