“…Regarding the prevalence of dysphagia in older institutions, the results are similar to those found in other studies (van der Maarel-Wierink et al, 2011;Serra-Prat et al, 2012;van der Maarel-Wierink et al, 2014). Also, regarding its correlation with neurological diseases, such as stroke or dementia, the data are consistent with other studies (Easterling et al, 2008;Kalf et al, 2012;Somasundaram et al, 2014).…”

“…The incidence of dysphagia in nursing home studies is estimated at between 20% and 40% (Bomfim et al, 2013;van der Maarel-Wierink, Meijers, De Visschere, de Baat, Halfens, & Schols, 2014). Several studies noted that the risk of bronchial aspiration and pneumonia by aspiration is one of the major complications, among others, that are derived from dysphagia (van der Maarel-Wierink, Vanobbergen, Bronkhorst, Schols, & de Baat, 2011;Serra-Prat, Palomera, Gomez, Sar-Shalom, Saiz, Montoya, et al, 2012).…”

“…Okamoto et al reported the relationship between dysphagia and tooth loss in community-dwelling independent elderly adults 4. Another study showed that Care Dependency Scale scores, malnutrition and disease clusters, such as dementia, nervous system disorders and cerebrovascular disease/hemiparesis, were associated with the presence of subjective dysphagia 5. Lindgren and Janzon reported complaints of swallowing difficulty with several clinical findings among 50- to 79-year-old males and females living in an urban area; they described the consequences of these symptoms in terms of changing dietary habits and medical history but were unable to define potential risk factors of dysphagia 4,6.…”

PurposePrevention, early detection and effective rehabilitation of dysphagia are important issues to be considered in an aging society. Previous studies have shown conflicting findings regarding the association between dysphagia and its potential risk factors, including age, malnutrition, oral conditions, lifestyle and medical history. Herein, we assessed the prevalence and association of dysphagia with potential risk factors in 50- to 79-year-old adults dwelling in a community in Japan.Patients and methodsIn this study, there were 532 participants (185 males and 347 females). Participants who responded positively to the question “Do you sometimes choke on drinks/food such as tea and soup?” or those who presented with abnormal repetitive saliva swallowing test findings were diagnosed with dysphagia. The data collected from these participants included the following: number of teeth, occurrence of oral dryness, age, body mass index, serum albumin concentration, smoking, drinking and exercise habits, presence of diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and questions from the Mini–Mental State Examination.ResultsDysphagia was observed in 33 males (17.8%) and 76 females (21.9%). To explore the effect of the potential risk factors on the prevalence of dysphagia, a model was built by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Using the forced entry method, oral dryness (odds ratio [OR] =3.683 and P=0.003 in males; OR =1.797 and P=0.032 in females) and the number of teeth (OR =0.946 and P=0.038 in males) were found to be significantly related to dysphagia.ConclusionThis cross-sectional study demonstrated associations between oral conditions and dysphagia. Factors such as oral dryness and number of teeth may contribute to dysphagia more so than aging, lifestyle and comorbidity in community-dwelling adults over the age of 50.

Dysphagia is a symptom, commonly found in healthcare residents and the elderly, may lead to undernutrition and negative effects on quality of life. Providing special food products that cannot only be swallowed by patients but also meet nutritional requirements is a challenge for food rheologists and healthcare staff. The purpose of this paper was to review the literature on rheological aspects of dysphagia-oriented products. Also, some suggestions were proposed for better exploitation of rheological data in the field of dysphagia-rheology.
