The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between quality of removable dentures and nutrient intake in the elderly. Subjects were 323 community dwelling, independently living elderlypeople (174 males and 149 females) aged 60-79, of which the mean age was 66.3±4.3 years.Diet was assessed by licensed dietitians via interview for 3 days. The data on food consumption were converted to the nutrient content such as energy (kcal), protein, and calcium. The ratio of actual nutrient intake per recommended nutrient intake was evaluated as a measure of dietary adequacy. Student's t-test, Mann-Whitney U-test, and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis.The nutrient intake, except iron, was sufficient in both dentate and denture wearer groups. Among removable denture wearers, nutrient intake tended to be lower in the low occlusal force group than in the high group. There were significant differences in protein and iron intake in males between the two groups (p<0.05), and the nutrient intake also tended to be lower in the group dissatisfied with removable denture than in the group satisfied therewith.The results indicated that both occlusal force and satisfaction with removable dentures were associated with nutrient intake of elderly people.
