Implication

Cross-sectional analysis finds that perceived stress and sleep duration impact chewing difficulty in adults, suggesting mental health plays a crucial role.

Key Points

  • Chewing difficulty is significantly correlated with perceived stress, highlighting a mental health impact.
  • In men under 40, high perceived stress raises chewing difficulty odds by 1.71 times, indicating urgent mental health needs.
  • Older men also face risks from high stress and short sleep duration, further complicating chewing issues.
  • Women over 40 show a strong link between depression and chewing difficulty, underlining the need for comprehensive mental health care.
