Objectives

Narrative objectives1

After adjusting for age and BMI, we will first determine the relationship between mastication tempo and muscle mass, muscle strength (grip strength), physical exercise capacity, body size, and chewing ability. Next, we will examine whether or not mastication tempo and chewing frequency increase by adjusting to the rhythm of a metronome.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

This study will clarify whether mastication tempo is related to age, gender, body size, muscle strength, and physical function. It will also examine the difference between the actual measured values and the time the individual anticipated in advance that it would take to eat, and the relationship with the individual's normal food intake status.
Next, we will examine whether chewing in accordance with a metronome affects eating time, chewing tempo, and total number of chews. Each of them will be asked to eat 1/4 slice of pizza (Maruha Nichiro frozen pizza, 1 slice, 100 g and its substitute) to the tempo (none, 40 bpm, 80 bpm, 160 bpm). Or, eat one slice of French bread (4 slices, 1 cm thick) in the same way, one slice at a time to the tempo (none, 40 bpm, 80 bpm, 160 bpm).

Assessment

Primary outcomes

For the effects of metronome rhythm (4 groups) on mastication tempo and total meal time, multiple comparisons will be made by Tukey method after One Way ANOVA in the case without adjustment. In the case with adjustment, age, gender, and BMI will be used as covariates, and the comparison of chewing tempo and number of chews in the metronome rhythm (4 groups) will be performed by analysis of covariance.

Key secondary outcomes

The dependent variable was mastication tempo (number of chews), and the independent variables were body size, grip strength, physical function, total energy and nutrient intake, age, sex, and BMI.
