Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This pilot study evaluated the relationships between appetite and oral function, and between appetite and the subjective symptoms of decreased oral function.
METHODS: Seventy-one adult dental clinic patients (22 males, 66.0 ± 14.0 years) participated in this study. A Council on Nutrition Appetite Questionnaire score of ≤28 indicated anorexia, and the Mini Nutritional Assessment Short-form, body mass index and skeletal muscle mass index were used to define subject characteristics. Seven oral function tests and seven subjective symptoms related to oral function were evaluated. The relationship between subject characteristics, oral function tests, subjective symptoms and anorexia was analysed using the chi-square test and univariate and multivariate logistic regression.
RESULTS: There were significant differences between the normal appetite group and the anorexia group for the 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) survey and the question \'Food remains in the oral cavity after eating\' (p < .05). Univariate logistic regression found significant differences in the items of masticatory function, the EAT-10 survey and the question \'Food remains in the oral cavity after eating\'. Multivariate logistic regression revealed significant differences in masticatory function (AOR 4.35; 95% CI: 1.03-18.35; p = .045) and EAT-10 (AOR 6.27; 95% CI: 1.40-24.02; p = .016).
CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study investigated the influence of factors related to oral function on appetite. Relationships were found among poor masticatory function, poor swallowing function and anorexia.

摘要：
目的：这项初步研究评估了食欲与口腔功能之间的关系，在食欲和口腔功能下降的主观症状之间。
方法：71名成人牙科诊所患者（22名男性，66.0±14.0年）参加了这项研究。营养偏好问卷理事会评分≤28表示厌食症，和迷你营养评估简表，体重指数和骨骼肌质量指数用于定义受试者特征.评估了7项口腔功能测试和与口腔功能相关的7项主观症状。主体特征之间的关系，口腔功能测试,使用卡方检验以及单因素和多因素logistic回归分析主观症状和厌食症.
结果：在10项饮食评估工具（EAT-10）调查中，正常食欲组与厌食症组之间存在显着差异，问题是“食物在口腔中进食后残留”（p<0.05）。单因素logistic回归发现咀嚼功能项目存在显着差异，EAT-10调查和“进食后食物仍留在口腔中”的问题。多因素logistic回归显示咀嚼功能（AOR4.35;95％CI：1.03-18.35;p=.045）和EAT-10（AOR6.27;95％CI：1.40-24.02;p=.016）存在显着差异。
结论：这项初步研究调查了与口腔功能相关的因素对食欲的影响。在咀嚼功能差之间发现了关系，吞咽功能差和厌食症。
