Assessing the Adaptive/Maladaptive Strategies of Mastication in Older Taiwanese Individuals Using the Masticatory Adaptation Experience Questionnaire (MAEQ).
Key Points
The research aims to evaluate how age and cognitive impairment influence masticatory adaptation strategies in older adults.
Used the Masticatory Adaptation Experience Questionnaire (MAEQ) to assess strategies.
Analyzed responses of older Taiwanese individuals regarding mastication practices.
Examined the relationship between cognitive impairment and masticatory strategies.
Adaptive strategies are more commonly employed than maladaptive ones.
Cognitive impairment correlates with maladaptive strategies in mastication.
Abstract
The MAEQ is a valid tool for assessing the use of adaptive/maladaptive strategies during mastication in older individuals. Age and cognitive impairment may play a key role in the use of the strategies.
