  1. Masseter muscle tone is associated with masticatory performance in humans (adjusted OR = 1.215, p = 0.016).

    “The number of FTUs (adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 0.724, p = 0.029), tone (adjusted OR = 1.215, p = 0.016), and elasticity (adjusted OR = 4.789, p = 0.038) were independently associated with the MAI.”
