Abstract
Objectives It is said that the number of chews of modern people has decreased significantly compared to the past. In this study, we searched the number of chews in 10 g of local specialties or local foods of each prefecture in Japan for the purpose of raising awareness of mastication. Methods 10 subjects ingested 10 g of each test food and the number of chews was measured by video observation. Results For all tested foods, the number of chews per mouthful was over 30, as recommended by the government. Conclusions This study may help to raise awareness of the number of times people chew, thereby raising awareness of dietary education, and may also help to prevent oral frailty by using foods that increase chewing and chewing frequency in meals.(UMIN000044454)
