Summary:Background Body weight loss (BWL) is a serious complication of gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer (GC). Nutritional intervention alone is inadequate for preventing BWL, and a new approach is needed. Oral frailty among older adults has recently attracted attention. This study aimed to investigate masticatory ability and BWL after gastrectomy. Methods This was a single-center, retrospective study. Functional tooth units (FTU) were used to measure masticatory ability. Patients with FTU
