Abstract

The increasing population of the elderly has an impact on health problems, including an increase of oral problems. One of the common oral problems is dry mouth that possibly disrupts gustatory function. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between salivary secretion and taste sensitivity level in the elderly. This study was a cross sectional study for the elderly population of Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta/The Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) Province, Indonesia. This study consisted of interview, clinical examination, measurement of salivary secretion (sialometry) and taste sensitivity level using chemical gustometry method. Salivary secretion data were described in ml/ min. The measurement of taste sensitivity level was performed using 4 different substances: sweet (sucrose), salty (NaCl), sour (citric acid) and bitter (quinidine sulphate) with 4 different concentrations for each flavor. Four score was given if the respondent recognized the lowest concentration of the substance and 0 score was provided when all concentrations were failed to be tasted. Total score for test sensitivity level was scaled from 0 to 16. Salivary secretion data and taste sensitivity level data were analyzed by Spearman correlation test to determine the correlation between both variables. There were 103 subjects (70 women and 33 men) with the age mean of 65.61 years old, participating in this study. The mean of the sweet taste level was 2.81, 3.32 for salty taste, 3.69 for sour taste and 2.98 for bitter taste. Total taste sensitivity level mean was 12.80 out of 16. The measurements of unstimulated whole saliva showed a mean value of 0.170 ml/min with the majority of subjects having normal salivary flow. The Spearman correlation test results showed r= -0.078 with p >0.05 that indicated no correlation. We concluded that there was no relationship between salivary secretion and taste sensitivity level in the elderly.

Abstract

Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is an oral mucosal disease which was more prevalent in women than men. Study has shown that zinc deficiency associated with the occurance of RAS. Other study also have shown that vitamin D deficiency contributed in RAS. However, there is no study yet that reveal the association between serum zinc and vitamin D/25 (OH)D in women with RAS. To investigate the association between serum zinc and vitamin D/25(OH)D in women with RAS. Thirty two women patients with RAS who meet the inclusion criteria participated in this study. The inclusions criteria was non pregnant women who have been diagnosed RAS and did not have other oral diseases. The exclusions criteria were those who have systemic diseases, taking medications including multivitamin, and have bad habits (i.e. smoking). Data concerning characteristic of subjects, severity of RAS, serum vitamin D/25(OH)D, and zinc were collected and presented descriptively. The correlation between serum zinc and Vitamin D/25(OH)D was analyzed using Pearson correlation test with 95% confidence interval. This study has been approved by Medical and Health Ethics Committe, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta. All subjects of this study have low mean value of serum vitamin D/25(OH)D (11.08 ± 3.11 ng/mL) and categorized with vitamin D deficiency. The subjects also have low mean value of serum zinc (54.78 ± 9.19 μg/dL) and seventy percent subjects have mean value of serum zinc below normal. The result of Pearson correlation test showed that there was a significant positive correlation between mean serum zinc and Vitamin D/25(OH)D (r= 0.351, p<0.05) in women with RAS. Serum zinc associated with vitamin D/25(OH)D and play role in pathogenesis of RAS.
