Key Points

  • The research investigates how different characteristics of gummies affect mastication and swallowing in healthy elderly individuals.
  • Randomized trial conducted with a diverse group of healthy elderly people.
  • Participants tested various gummy types to assess mastication and swallowing efficiency.
  • Oral function evaluated using standardized measures.
  • Gummy characteristics significantly influenced mastication, with softer gummies leading to easier chewing (p<0.05).
  • Swallowing function improved with specific gummy types, showing an increase in swallowing efficiency rates.
  • Overall satisfaction and comfort during consumption were higher for the more pliable gummy varieties.
