Popis: The purpose of this study is to find relationships between occlusal forces in different sex and age groups and the intake of foods. Occlusal forces were estimated using an occlusal force meter. Separate groups for both males and females were also subdivided by age : yong (10-20 years old) and old (30-50 years old). Food intake was classified according to mastication activities, i. e., biting and chewing. Obtained results included : 1) The occlusal forces of males were stronger than females. 2) No difference in occlusal forces was observed between the yonger and older age groups in both sexes. 3) A tendency was observed in which younger people liked to intake soft foods.
