Swallowing in Alzheimer's Disease: Preliminary Results and Future Directions
Our findings suggest a similar prevalence of swallowing problems among our participants compared to community-dwelling elderly in general. No significant differences between MCI and CU groups emerged. Future work will analyze longitudinal changes in preclinical AD and controls, and between preclinical AD and symptomatic AD, to better understand the progression of swallowing disorders over the disease course.
