Also kind of interesting to know there is a quantifiable methodology for rating chewing capabilities, which could potentially be used in other studies.
Anyhow I suspect when we are old and don’t understand what is happening to our weakening bodies some of us may have a greater appreciation for this particular study.
Be careful being. Sometimes the pessimistic view is that you will grow old. Don’t be like me and plan for a massive coronary to end your suffering at age 50.
Turns out my family has disturbingly good genes, and there’s a chance I’m stuck for a long time yet.
Participants were asked, “Can you chew hard food such as hard bread or apples?” with three possible response options: (1) “Yes, without difficulty”, indicating no issues with chewing hard food; (2) “Yes, but I must be careful”, reflecting some difficulty or the need to adjust chewing habits, such as taking smaller bites or chewing more slowly to avoid discomfort; and (3) “No, not at all”, indicating a complete inability to chew hard food

I’m not going to look it up and assume that the chewing scale is rated based on how hard the patient bites the researcher.
This is the only logical conclusion.
Look at this optimist thinking we’re going to get old.

It’s not quite that quantitative:
