Abstract

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify correlations between tongue pressure and respiratory function in the elderly undergoing day-care rehabilitation. [Participants and Methods] A total of 127 older adults (66 males and 61 females) from Nishinasuno General Home Care Center participated in the study. Correlations between tongue pressure and respiratory function were assessed. The following respiratory function parameters were measured: forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1.0), FEV1.0/FVC ratio (FEV1.0%), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), maximum inspiratory pressure (PImax), and maximum expiratory pressure (PEmax). [Results] Overall, tongue pressure exhibited correlations with all parameters. With respect to gender, it correlated with PImax and PEmax in males and with FEV1.0, PEFR, and PEmax in females, with moderate correlation coefficients. [Conclusion] Although the participants had various diseases, the results suggest that tongue pressure and respiratory functions may mutually influence one another. Gender-based features of tongue pressure may correlate with respiratory muscle strength in males and expiratory function in females.
