The Effects of Edentulism on Nutritional Habits and Body Weight

Abstract

Partial or total edentulism is a frequent health problem at advanced age groups. Edentulism negatively affects the aesthetics, psychology and social life of the individuals. It also decreases their quality of life, and influences nutritional habits by causing deficiency at masticator functions. The diet of the toothless individuals usually includes softer and more processed foods, and the foods needed less chewing. These foods generally contain high amount of oil and cholesterol. When these are thought together that the intensive consumption of such kind of foods, and aged’s, generally, inactive living conditions, may be caused weight gain. This review aims to evaluate the effect of partial or total edentulism on body weight in light of the current reports.

Dişsizliğin Beslenme Alışkanlıkları ve Vücut Ağırlığı Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Kısmi veya total dişsizlik durumu ileri yaş gruplarında sık karşılaşılan bir sağlık problemidir. Dişsizlik bireylerin estetiğini, psikolojisini ve sosyal hayatını olumsuz etkilemekte, hayat kalitesini düşürmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra, çiğneme fonksiyonunda yetersizliklere neden olarak beslenme alışkanlıklarını da etkilemektedir. Dişsiz bireylerin diyetleri çoğunlukla daha yumuşak, işlenmiş ve çiğnemeye az ihtiyaç duyulan gıdaları içermektedir. Bu gıdalar genellikle yağ ve kolesterol içeriği yüksek gıdalardır. Yağları ve karbonhidratları yoğun olarak içeren bu tür kalorili gıdaların fazlaca tüketilmesi ve yaşlılardaki genellikle hareketsiz olan yaşam şartları beraber düşünüldüğünde ağırlık artışı söz konusu olabilir. Bu derleme çalışması kısmi ya da total dişsizliğin vücut ağırlığı üzerine olan etkilerini güncel çalışmalar ışığında değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
