“…This could be due to the declined postural stability and head position, which may delay the movements of the pharynx (Ayuse et al, 2006), or an insufficient formed bolus because of dechned chewing ability (Miura et al, 2010) or age-related changes of the tissue involved in bolus transportation (Humbert & Robbins, 2008;Rofes et al, 2010). Recently, Butler et al (2011) found an association between decreased tongue and grip strength.…”

“…Presbyphagia in combination with frailty may also result in dyspbagia (Rofes et al, 2010). Dyspbagia in frail elders is found to be associated with pneumonia (van der Maarel-Wierink, Vanobbergen, Bronkborst, Scbols, & de Baat, 2011), decreased survival status (Cabre et al, 2010), and reduced quality of life (Miura, Yamasaki, Morizaki, Moriya, & Sumi, 2010). From the National Hospital Discbarge Survey in the United States, dysphagia is found to be associated with about 41% increase in median Length of Hospital Stay (LOS) in all age groups (Altman, Yu, & Scbaefer, 2010).…”

Purpose: To examine the relationship between ingestive skill performance while eating and drinking and frailty status in acutely-hospitalized elderly patients and to examine whether there is a relationship between the proportion of ingestive skill difficulties and Length of Hospital Stay (LOS) and discharge destination. Methods: Frail (n = 64) and robust (n = 40) acutely-hospitalized elderly patients were assessed using The McGill Ingestive Skills Assessment. Results: Forty-three ingestive skills were significantly more affected in frail patients (21.9% to 95.3%) versus robust patients (2.5% to 65.0%)). When adjusting for frailty status, difficulties in self-feeding and texture management were related to prolonged LOS, and difficulties in positioning and liquid ingestion were related to discharge to institutional care. Conclusion: Ingestive skill difficulties among acutely hospitalized frail elderly patients were frequent and characterized by great complexity. This necessitates a broad range of management strategies related to the patients' ability in positioning, self-feeding skills, as well as oropharyngeal sensorimotor skills.

“…Community having more aged population, the diagnosis and treatment for impaired eating and swallowing functions, which were led by the growing number of the seniors along with the constant increase in the patients of cerebrovascular disorders, gain prominent attention [1][2][3][4][5]. In order to deal with this issue, the roles of oral somatic and taste perceptions for food consumption and gulping process have been highly studied [6][7][8].…”

We previously reported that senior aged people display reduced stereognostic efficiency of the tongue compared to the young adults, and suggested the feasibility of getting over this situation applying the training protocol mentioned by us. The same important issue to the development of therapy for decreased function is study on prevention of aging-dependent functional decline. Early prevention of the oral stereognostic ability decrement might be the better option while investigation of the issues should be considered during the early onset of the conditions in aged patients.This study was conducted to understand the efficiency of tongue's stereognostic characteristics for middle-aged people with a comparative understanding with young adults. This analysis related to tongue was conducted in 78 young adults (mean age: 24.5 years) and 33 middle-agers (mean age: 50.5 years). The method applied in this study contained 20 varied shaped test pieces in the oral cavity of the subjects. The observations revealed that most of the young adults were able to identify different shaped test pieces compare to the older participants (mean correct number of responses: 16.8 and 15.2, respectively; p<0.001). Depending on the shapes the test pieces were divided into six groups. It was found that misidentification of a piece by the young participants lead to selection of similar piece belonging to the same group. Selection of pieces from other group was almost nil. On the other hand, the older participants (middle-agers) also identified test pieces less often from separate groups. Differences in degree of decrease in the stereognostic ability between middle-agers and seniors whose ability was reported previously were also discussed.
