Abstract
Background: Chewing ability and handgrip strength can be independent explanatory factors of physical fitness. The usability of measurement procedures for assessing chewing function in people with dementia seems to be limited. This study aimed to show an association between handgrip strength and chewing function to enable the use of handgrip strength measurement as an alternative for determining chewing parameters in people with dementia. METHODS: The data analysed here are part of the OrBiD (Oral Health, Bite Force and Dementia) pilot
