This analysis excluded participants who were defined as underweight at baseline. MEASUREMENTS Information was collected on age, gender, occlusal force, the number of teeth, BMI, socioeconomic factors, medical history, the number of daily prescription medications, cognitive function, depressive symptoms, hand grip strength, and physical function.
