Association Between Masticatory Performance and Nutritional Risk in Older Adults Wearing Removable Dentures: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Composite Nutritional Indices

Short summary

In older adults wearing removable dentures, better chewing ability (higher glucose concentration after chewing) was consistently linked to lower odds of nutritional risk as defined by the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI). Specifically, each 10 mg/dL increase in glucose concentration was associated with an 11% lower risk (OR 0.89).
