Background Masticatory parameters, such as reduced number of teeth and posterior
contacts, have been shown to be associated with reduced cognitive status. The underlying …

Background Human neuroimaging studies have revealed the association between brain
structure and masticatory function. However, the majority of the studies adopted a cross …

Older patients with cognitive impairment exhibit worse masticatory performance (MP), which
may be attributed to poorer abilities of control, learning, and adaptation of oral sensorimotor …

Background The occurrence of cognitive impairment (CI) is expected to increase within an
ageing population. CI is associated with tooth loss, which influences masticatory …

Objective This systematic review aimed to provide an overview of the most recent evidence
on the association between measured masticatory function and cognitive status. Materials …

Objectives Mastication is associated with brain activation at the primary somatosensory
cortex (S1) and the primary motor cortex (M1). Masticatory functions differ between patients …

We investigated the effect of poor masticatory ability on cognitive trajectories and dementia
risk in older adults. 544 cognitively intact adults aged≥ 50 were followed for up to 22 years …

Background: An amount of cognition decline is normal with aging; however, intrinsic and
extrinsic risk factors may exacerbate it, affecting social and occupational tasks. Masticatory …

Age-related decline in cognitive functions and dementia are major challenges in geriatric
healthcare. Accumulating evidence from clinical, epidemiological and animal research …

Background Epidemiological studies show an association between masticatory function and
cognitive impairment. This has further strengthened the notion that tooth loss and impaired …
