ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between an increase in waist circumference (WC) after 1 year and self-reported chewing status in 10,870 Japanese adults who had received health checkups. Subsequently, 8068 participants were included in the final analysis.

METHODS:

We defined an increase in WC ≥ 5 cm after 1 year as an unhealthy increase; in total, 613 (7.5%) respondents met this criterion. Chewing status was evaluated using a self-reported questionnaire at baseline; 1080 (13%) respondents were diagnosed with poor chewing status.

RESULTS:

After adjusting for age, gender, WC, body mass index (BMI), and chewing status, an increase in WC ≥ 5 cm was found to be positively associated with gender (females odds ratios [ORs] 1.206; 95% confidence intervals [CIs] 1.008-1.443), WC (ORs 0.967; 95% CIs 0.954-0.981), BMI (≥25 kg/m2; ORs 2.194; 95% CIs 1.715-2.808), and chewing status (poor; ORs 1.356; 95% CIs 1.084-1.697).
