概括
口腔干燥 (xerostomia) 与盐味障碍有关,特别是在60岁以上的成年人中. 这种口腔状况,以及牙损失 (牙),可能会影响口味感知.
科学领域:
- 口腔健康和感官科学
- 公共卫生和流行病学.
背景情况:
- 口腔疾病很普遍,可能会影响整体健康.
- 味觉感知,包括盐味,可以因各种因素而改变.
- 盐的摄入量是管理心血管健康的关键因素.
研究的目的:
- 调查美国成年人特定口腔疾病和盐味障碍之间的关联.
- 探索口腔健康问题与感知盐味的能力之间的潜在相互作用.
主要方法:
- 利用了2013-2014年全国健康和营养检查调查 (NHANES) 的数据,其中有2373名参与者.
- 评估了口腔疾病,包括牙周炎,牙腐烂,牙缺失,牙,和异口腔.
- 采用加权多变量逻辑回归来分析口腔状况与客观测量的盐味障碍之间的关系,控制共变量.
主要成果:
- Xerostomia (口腔干燥) 与较高的盐味障碍的可能性显著相关 (OR 2.42),特别是在60岁以上的成年人中 (OR 3.63).
- 异口腔和牙 (完全失去牙) 之间的相互作用进一步增加了盐味障碍的风险.
- 在40-59岁的年龄组中,虽然异口症显示出增加盐味障碍的趋势,但置信区间包括零值.
结论:
- 口腔健康状况,特别是异口症,似乎会影响一个人品尝盐的能力.

Taste Buds and Receptors
1.9K
Gustation, or the sense of taste, is intrinsically linked to the anatomical structures located on the tongue. This organ's surface, along with the entirety of the oral cavity, is adorned with stratified squamous epithelium. Evident on the tongue are elevated structures known as papillae (singular = papilla), which house the mechanisms for the transduction of gustatory stimuli. Four distinct types of papillae exist, each identified by their unique morphological attributes: the circumvallate,...

Conditioned Taste Aversion
135
Conditioned taste aversion, also known as sauce béarnaise syndrome, is a phenomenon in which an individual develops an aversion to a certain food taste following a negative experience, typically illness. This form of aversion is a type of classical conditioning in which the taste of the food (conditioned stimulus, CS) is associated with the experience of illness (unconditioned stimulus, UCS).
A notable characteristic of conditioned taste aversion is that it often requires only a single...

The Physiology of Taste
3.9K
The perception of a salty flavor is facilitated by sodium ions within the oral salivary fluid. Upon consumption of a salty substance, salt crystals disassemble, leading to the liberation of its constituents—Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions subsequently dissolve into the salivary fluid present in the oral cavity. The external environment of the gustatory cells experiences an elevation in Na+ concentration, thereby establishing a potent concentration gradient. This gradient propels the...

Oral Cavity

The oral cavity, or the mouth, is a complex structure in humans that plays a vital role in our day-to-day lives. Its role is not only in chewing and swallowing food; it also plays a role in speech and facial expressions.
Teeth: The teeth are the hardest structures in our bodies. Humans have two sets of teeth throughout their lifetime: deciduous (baby) teeth and permanent teeth. Each tooth consists of several parts: the crown (visible part), the root (embedded in the jaw), enamel (hard outer...

Salivary Glands and Saliva
666
The salivary glands, of which there are three pairs known as the parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands, play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and initiating the digestive process. Positioned near the ears, beneath the masseter muscle, the parotid glands secrete saliva into the oral cavity through the parotid duct of Stensen. Meanwhile, the submandibular glands, located on the floor of the mouth, secrete saliva through channels named submandibular ducts. The sublingual glands,...

Gustation
47.8K
Gustation is a chemical sense that, along with olfaction (smell), contributes to our perception of taste. It starts with the activation of receptors by chemical compounds (tastants) dissolved in the saliva. The saliva and filiform papillae on the tongue distribute the tastants and increase their exposure to the taste receptors.
