오른손잡이와 왼손잡이가 있듯이 저작도 주로 사용하는 쪽이 있는 편측저작습관자와 양쪽을 다 사용하는 비편측저작자가 있다. 본 연구는 1년 이상 지속된 편측저작습관이 저작근과 턱관절에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 연세대학교 치과대학 재학생 및 치과병원 교직원 중 참여하기를 희망하는 편측저작습관자 46명, 비편측저작습관자 36명, 총 82명의 지원자를 대상으로 저작근의 근활성도와 교합력을 검사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 연구에 앞서 설문 및 임상검사를 통하여 연구에 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 특기할 전신병력이나 불규칙한 치열 및 비정상적인 교합을 가진 자는 배제하였다. 1. 편측저작습관자군에서 안정위와 최대 이악물기(maximal voluntry contraction; MVC)상태에서의 저작측과 비저작측간 근활성도는 차이를 나타내지 않았다 (p>0.05). 2. 안정위 시 전측두근과 교근에서의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군 사이에 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 3. 최대 이악물기 시 교근의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군에서 비편측저작습관자군 보다 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.05), 전측두근의 근활성도 비대칭 지수는 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군간에 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 4. 편측저작습관자군에서 저작측과 비저작측간의 평균교합력과 교합접촉면적은 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 5. 편측저작습관자군과 비편측저작습관자군간의 평균교합력의 비대칭 지수와 교합접촉면적의 비대칭 지수는 차이를 나타내지 않았다(p>0.05). 이상의 연구결과 편측저작습관은 저작근의 근활성도와 평균교합력 및 교합접촉면적에 영향을 미쳐 변화를 일으키기 보다는, 정상적인 기능을 하는 생리적 비대칭이라고 보는 것이 타당하다고 생각한다. 향후 연구 시 편측저작자와 비편측저작자를 구분하기위한 객관적인 기준의 제시가 필요하다고 생각한다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate electromyographically the relationship between preferred chewing side and side of initial muscle pains. In this study, 20 normal healthy subjects were selected , and each subject chewed randomly chewing gum for 20 minutes to establish preferred chewing side. To induce initial muscle pains, biting force of 10Kg on the gnathodynamometer was maintained by the subjects. And the Bioelectric processor EM2(Myo-Ironies Research, Inc. U.S.A.) with the surface electrodes was used to record the EMG activity during all experimental procedures. The results were as follows; 1. A majority of the present subjects (60%) had a preferred chewing side, but with few exceptions, subjects were unable to explain why a given side was preferred; explanations were only 'comfort' and 'habit' 2. The chewing, or working side was determined largely by the mean voltage of the surface electromyogram (EMG); in comparison with EMG from the non-wlring (contralateral) side, the working (ipsilateral) side showed a higher amplitude. 3. After the effort, the right masseter muscle is the most frequent site of pains, followed by the left masseter muscle, the anterior part of the right temporalis muscle and tile anterior part of the left temporalis muscle. 4. After the effort, mean voltages of masseter muscles were slightly increased, but mean voltages of temporalis anterior were slightly decreased at physiologic rest position. 5. No relationships could be established between preferred chewing side and side of initial muscle pains.

Food habit, eating-out pattern, smoking and drinking habits of 814 elderly (aged over 60) living in Incheon were surveyed by questionnaire. The ratio of the elderly who have balanced meals at moderate amount was slightly higher in urban area. Urban elderly tended to have mild foods, while rural elderly preferred hot and salty foods. Score for food habit was higher in urban elderly and there was no difference between male and female elderly. Most urban elderly had their meal at the public facilities for elderly, while most rural elderly used general restaurant and public room for elderly. Korean foods were the most favorite menu when ate out. Ratio of elderly who have difficulties in chewing was 21.2 and 39.6% for urban and rural elderly, respectively. Many elderly, especially more than 70% of female elderly, prepared the meals for themselves. Rural elderly smoked and drank more than urban elderly and male elderly did more than female elderly.
