Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
For the effects of metronome rhythm (4 groups) on mastication tempo and total meal time, multiple comparisons will be made by Tukey method after One Way ANOVA in the case without adjustment. In the case with adjustment, age, gender, and BMI will be used as covariates, and the comparison of chewing tempo and number of chews in the metronome rhythm (4 groups) will be performed by analysis of covariance.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The dependent variable was mastication tempo (number of chews), and the independent variables were body size, grip strength, physical function, total energy and nutrient intake, age, sex, and BMI.
