Abstract
Background. According to the 2018 Riskesdas, the prevalence of tooth loss increased, from 23,6% at the age of 45-54 years and increased to 30,6% at the age of over 65 years. This shows that as people get older, their ability to chew food decreases, which will affect their nutritional status and quality of life. Objective. Analyzing the relationship between the number of teeth still available and the intake of nutrients, namely, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats and minerals in pre-elderly and elderly people. Method. An analytic experimental study was conducted on 60 people respondents aged 50-69 years with different number of teeth. An analytic experimental study was conducted on 60 female respondents aged 50-69 years with different number of teeth. The population was divided into 3 groups, group 1 (10 teeth), 2 (10-19 teeth) and 3 (19, >19). Nutrient intake was done by the 2x24-hour recall method. The average of the two interviews was converted into carbohydrates, fat, protein, and minerals using the Indonesian Food Composition Table book. 2018. Serum albumin and globulin examinations were carried out to see hematological indicators of nutritional status. The data obtained were analyzed with Spearman regression correlation Results. The three population groups have the same average age. The BMI measurement results of the three groups are different where group 3 (>20 teeth) has an ideal BMI, while group 2 is categorized as obese and group 1 has a BMI close to obesity level ll. The Spearman correlation test was conducted to determine the relationship in the number of teeth with carbohydrate, fat and protein intake. The results showed that there was a strong correlation between the number of teeth and the intake of protein (r = 0.895), fiber (r = 0.896), calcium (r = 0.808), phosphorus (r = 0.765), iron (r = 0.835), sodium (r = 0.737), potassium (r = 0.714), and zinc (r = 0.771), but a negative correlation with the intake of fat (r = -0.675), and carbohydrate (r = -0.662). These results suggest that those with a small number of teeth choose food sources that are high in fat and carbohydrates. In contrast, those with a large number of teeth prefer foods that are high in fiber, protein and minerals. Conclusion. The number of teeth a person has greatly affects the selection of food sources. The fewer teeth a person has, the more they consume food sources that contain sugar and fat, and the less they consume foods that are high in fiber and protein. Those with the number of teeth between 10-19 suffer from obesity disease (BMI 26.46) even those with teeth < 10 suffer from obesity approaching obesity level 2 (BMI 29.81). Those with >19 teeth had an ideal BMI (21.33).
