- Abstract
The objective was to see the effect of the ability to chew on cognitive function in the elderly. The literature was searched using PubMed and Wiley Online Library (keyword "chewing ability" in subset combined with "cognitive function" and "elderly"). Eighty articles were qualifying as either chewing ability or elderly. Of these, five articles were found in the inclusion criteria, such as cognitive function. Memory loss (cognitive function) is very closely related to physical activity in sports and other activities, including food chewing. Concerning the ability to chew food, the elderly tends to choose foods that are soft or easy to chew. This will impact the reduced activity of the masticatory muscles so that the distribution of blood flow to the brain is reduced.
