OBJECTIVES
Muscle strength decreases with age, causing a decline in physical and oro-facial function. However, the impact of physiological and pathophysiological factors on tongue pressure (TP) has not been clarified. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare and analyze TP and hand-grip strength (HGS) between individuals aged <60 years and >60 years, gender, and need for care (independent older adults (IC) and older adults receiving nursing-care (NC)). Furthermore, the effect of HGS in physical function on TP was examined.
METHODS
Human clinical studies reporting HGS and TP were searched systematically using PubMed and Ichushi-Web published from 1969 to Nov 2021. Random-effects meta-regressions were performed to compare between subgroups and to examine the association between HGS and TP (α<0.05).
RESULTS
Forty-four studies with a total of 10343 subjects were included. TP and HGS values were significantly higher in people aged <60 years relative to >60 years, and in IC relative to NC (all p<.001). Regarding gender, there was no significant difference in TP (p=.370). However, a significant gender-dependent difference in TP was observed in people aged <60 years (p<.001), but not in aged >60 years in IC group (p=.118) and aged >60 years in NC group (p=.895). There was a significant positive correlation of HGS and TP (p<.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Similar to decrease in HGS, age-related sarcopenia seems to have an effect on oro-facial muscles like the tongue. Research on rehabilitation measures for oro-facial muscle strength, similar to HGS might be beneficial to improve the personally acquired oro-facial potential.
