The relationship between oropharyngeal dysphagia and dehydration in older adults
EAT-10 scale was independently associated with overt dehydration among older adults, as MNA score was. Correction of both dysphagia and malnutrition might improve overt dehydration to a better extent than correction either of these factors alone. Future studies are needed to test cause and effect relationships.
