ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine the relationship between mastication and malnutrition in community-dwelling older adults. RESEARCH STRATEGIES To establish the eligibility criteria, the acronym PECOS was used Population non-institutionalized older adults; Exposure older adults with malnutrition; Control older adults without malnutrition;Outcome:
masticatory problems in malnourished older adults; Study types observational studies. SELECTION CRITERIA It selected studies assessing malnutrition and mastication difficulties in non-institutionalized adults over 60 years old, of both sexes. Mastication and malnutrition were evaluated with questionnaires on self-reported symptoms and clinical and instrumental assessments. There were no restrictions on language, year of publication, or ethnicity. DATAANALYSIS:
The included studies were evaluated for methodological quality with the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for cross-sectional studies. For the cross-sectional studies included, the odds ratio (OR) was calculated with 95% confidence intervals.RESULTS:
After searching the databases, 692 references were retrieved, with three studies selected for quantitative and qualitative analysis. The values obtained in the meta-analysis for association show that malnutrition and mastication difficulties were 2.21 times as likely to occur (OR = 2.21; 95%CI = 0.93 - 5.26; I2 = 94%) as individuals without malnutrition (p < 0.001). The assessment of the risk of bias presented a high-risk, a moderate-risk, and a low-risk study. The certainty of evidence was rated very low with the GRADE tool.CONCLUSION:
Individuals at risk of malnutrition are 2.21 times as likely to have mastication difficulties.
