TL;DR
Longitudinal analyses suggest that tooth loss may lead to detrimental changes in diet, and Edentulous participants consumed fewer vegetables, less fiber and carotene, and more cholesterol, saturated fat and calories than participants with 25 or more teeth.
Abstract
The authors collected dietary intake data about the food and nutrient intake of 49,501 male health professionals. Edentulous participants consumed fewer vegetables, less fiber and carotene, and more cholesterol, saturated fat and calories than participants with 25 or more teeth. These factors could increase the risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Mean differences in intake ranged from 2 to 13 percent, independent of age, smoking, exercise and profession. Longitudinal analyses suggest that tooth loss may lead to detrimental changes in diet.

While pitfalls in the manipulation and interpretation of energy intake data in epidemiologic studies have been emphasized, these considerations also highlight the usefulness of obtaining a measurement of total caloric intake, which is not accomplished with nutrient density measures of dietary intake.

The authors assessed the reproducibility and validity of an expanded 131-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire used in a prospective study among 51,529 men and found that it provides a useful measure of intake for many nutrients over a one-year period.

The results suggest an inverse association between fiber intake and MI and suggest that fiber, independent of fat intake, is an important dietary component for the prevention of coronary disease.

The validity of a self-administered semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was evaluated for a group of 27 men and women aged 20 to 54 and provides further evidence that a simple and relatively inexpensive questionnaire can provide useful information on dietary intake over an extended period.

270 Citations1983Alan H. Wayler, Howard H. Chauncey
In view of the large proportion of individuals in the United States with complete dentures, an understanding of how multiple factors affect the nutritional status of edentulous elderly persons may lead to more rational dietary approaches to the maintenance of health.

The index has high predictive values when compared to two other questions on chewing ability in the survey, and several clinical dental health status measures appeared to influence chewing ability.

The validity of self-reported number of teeth was assessed by comparing self-reports in a telephone interview with results of a subsequent in-home examination by a dentist, and there were no significant differences between self-report and examination data.

The hypothesis that edentulous middle-aged individuals have a more unfavourable risk factor profile for CVD is supported and counselling on balanced dietary habits and non-smoking given by dental personnel to orally diseased patients--recommendations given to improve resistance to dental caries or periodontitis--might therefore improve general health and possibly also improve risk factors forCVD.

Preventing caries and reducing out-of-pocket costs for dental services are two strategies proposed by the authors to lower the rate of tooth extractions.

Results indicated that with increased age there was a tendency for texture acceptability to increase for the easy-to-chew food and a significant association of anxiety, but not extroversion, with masticatory and swallowing performance.

A review of the literature of masticatory performance and relevant experimental data from the DLS on dentition and age-related changes in performance levels demonstrate that in volunteers with natural dentition, there was a slight, but significant, decrease in masticatories performance while dentitions with prostheses showed little change.
