Combined association of chewing capacity and depression with constipation: a cross-sectional study
Both impaired chewing capacity and depression were independently linked to a higher likelihood of constipation, and their co-occurrence appeared to exert a synergistic impact. These findings highlight the importance of integrating oral health rehabilitation and mental health interventions to prevent and manage constipation in at-risk populations.
