Association Between Sarcopenia Risk and Dysphagia Risk in Older Adults Not Certified for Long-Term Care Insurance in Japan

We identified an association between sarcopenia and dysphagia risk in community-dwelling older adults who are not certified for long-term care insurance, with a significantly higher proportion of the sarcopenia risk group at risk for dysphagia. Our findings suggest that incorporating dysphagia screening into existing community-based sarcopenia screening efforts may be an effective approach to identifying older adults at risk for both conditions.

Abstract

We identified an association between sarcopenia and dysphagia risk in community-dwelling older adults who are not certified for long-term care insurance, with a significantly higher proportion of the sarcopenia risk group at risk for dysphagia. Our findings suggest that incorporating dysphagia screening into existing community-based sarcopenia screening efforts may be an effective approach to identifying older adults at risk for both conditions.
