Unilateral, isometric bite force in 8‐68‐year‐old women and men related to occlusal factors
Abstract
Abstract – Unilateral bite force was studied in 63 women and 59 men, 8‐68 yr of age. The subjects had a minimum of 24 teeth and no symptoms or signs of disorders of the craniomandibular system. Bite force was stronger in men (522 N) than in women (441 N). It increased with age until 25 yr (P<0.0001). The level decreased significantly after this age in women, whereas it only tended to decrease in men and not until after 45 yr of age. Body height was positively associated with force. However, the strongest correlation (r: 0.43–0.49,p<0.01) with adult bite force was occlusal contact. The normal bite‐force values with important determining factors provide reference data for screening of elevator muscle strength in routine examination of craniomandibular function.

“Until approximately 25 years of age, bite force increases with age, while afterwards, it decreases, resulting in lower muscle activity per chew for the elderly (Bakke et al. 1990; Newton et al. 1993; Nguyen et al. 2018; Palinkas et al. 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
