Standard Values and Concurrent Validity of a Newly Developed Occlusal Force-Measuring Device among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: The Otassha Study
Recently, an occlusal force-measuring device with a capacitive-type pressure-mapping sensor (OFMD-CPS) was developed. We aimed to establish age- and sex-specific standard values for OFMD-CPS-measured occlusal force (OF) and to assess the concurrent validity of the OFMD against another OF measuring s...

Sumario: | Recently, an occlusal force-measuring device with a capacitive-type pressure-mapping sensor (OFMD-CPS) was developed. We aimed to establish age- and sex-specific standard values for OFMD-CPS-measured occlusal force (OF) and to assess the concurrent validity of the OFMD against another OF measuring system with a pressure-sensitive sheet (Dental Prescale II). Using data from a population-based study, we calculated the OFMD-CPS-measured OF means and deciles in 5-year age groups for each sex. The OFMD-CPS-measured OF was validated against the Dental Prescale II-measured OF with Spearman correlation coefficients. Furthermore, we calculated the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) against the preexisting Dental Prescale II-measured OF cutoff value of 350 N. In total, 596 individuals (236 men and 360 women) with a mean (standard deviation (SD)) age of 73.7 (6.7) years were included in the analyses. The mean (SD) OFMD-CPS-measured OFs were 581.6 (284.6) N in men and 446.9 (209.9) N in women. There was a strong positive correlation (Spearman’s Rho = 0.73) between OFMD-CPS-measured and Dental Prescale II-measured OF. The diagnostic accuracy of the OFMD-CPS-measured OF for the Dental Prescale II-measured OF cutoff value was high (AUC = 0.88). In conclusion, we demonstrated standard values and concurrent validity of OFMD-CPS-measured OF in community-dwelling older adults. |
