dc.description.abstract연구목적: 본 연구는 노인의 객관적인 저작 기능 평가와 초음파로 촬영된 교근 두께의 연관성을 조사하고자 하였다. 연구대상 및 방법: 65세 이상 노인을 대상자로 모집하였으며, 총 99명(남성: 24명, 여성: 75명)의 데이터를 분석하였다. 최대교합력(Maximum bite force; MBF)은 감압지와 이미지 스캐너를 이용하여 측정하였다. 저작효율(Mixing ability index; MAI)은 대상자에게 왁스 시편을 씹도록 요청한 후, 이미지 분석을 통해 계산되었다. 초음파 장비를 이용하여 이완기와 수축기 상태의 교근 두께(Masseter muscle thickness; MMT)를 측정하였으며, 이완기와 수축기 교근 두께 차이는 DMMT (Difference in masseter muscle thickness)로 정의되었다. 저작 기능 평가와 교근 두께의 연관성을 알아보기 위하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하였다. 연구결과: MBF는 잔존치아 수 (β=0.350, P=0.002)와 DMMT (β=0.239, P=0.016)에서 양의 상관관계가 나타났으며, MAI는 잔존치아 수 (β=0.478, P<0.001)만 연관성이 있었다. 결론: DMMT는 교근의 수축된 상태를 반영하며, 노인의 저작 기능 평가와 잔존치아 수를 예측하는데 활용할 수 있다. Purpose: This study investigated the association between the objective indicator of masticatory function assessment and the masseter muscle thickness (MMT) using ultrasound imaging in the elderly. Methods: A total of 99 subjects (males: 24, females: 75, mean age: 76 years) were analyzed. The maximum bite force (MBF) was measured using a pressure‐sensitive sheet and an image scanner. The mixing ability index (MAI) was calculated by image analysis after asking the subjects to chew upon a wax specimen. The MMT during rest and clenching was obtained with a diagnostic ultrasound system, and the difference in MMT during rest and during clenching was defined as the difference in masseter muscle thickness (DMMT). Multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the relationship between masticatory function assessment and MMT. Results: The MBF showed positive correlation with the number of remaining teeth (β=0.350, P=0.002) and DMMT (β=0.239, P=0.016), while the MAI correlated only with the number of remaining teeth (β=0.478, P<0.001). Conclusions: The DMMT reflects the state of masseter muscle contraction, and can be used as a predictor of the number of teeth as well hen assessing masticatory function in the elderly.-
