摘　　要：目的评估咀嚼功能对老年患者营养和胃肠道症状的影响。方法通过问卷调查120例老年患者的口腔条件和咀嚼能力，分析咀嚼能力与营养状况和胃肠道功能的相关性。结果老年患者的营养状况与义齿的状况有关，但与义齿的数量、咀嚼能力无显著关联，胃肠道不适与咀嚼功能、咀嚼问题的多少和食物选择有关。结论咀嚼能力减弱的老年患者应避免摄入某些食物以免出现胃肠道不适，或因服药而使胃肠功能紊乱症状加重。Objective To evaluate the impact of masticatory function on malnutrition and gastrointestinal symptoms in senile patients. Methods Dental status and denture quality in 120 senile patients were investigated with questionnaires, and the correlation of masticatory ability with nutritional status and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated. Results The nutritional status of elderly patients was correlated with the condition of the denture,but not correlated with the number of denture and chewing ability. Gastrointestinal discomfort had correlation with masticatory function,chewing problems, difficulty in chewing and food limit,but chewing function was highly correlated with taking gastrointestinal drugs. Conclusions The chewing ability and nutritional status is not relevant,but since elderly patients with weakened chewing ability avoid certain foods,thus gastrointestinal discomfort and symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders such as medication increased.
