Summary 

									
								

							

						

						
This study was conducted to develop a masticatory function scale incorporating bite force and behavior that affects this force, for use in elderly people. Eight items were ultimately chosen for the masticatory function scale. The masticatory function scale scores showed significant correlations with health, ADL, and QOL. Both the reliability and validity of this scale were confirmed.
