A Decade-Long Study on Dysphagia Risk: Sex and Age Differences in Older Adults with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
These findings highlight the need for further research to clarify the metabolic and anatomical mechanisms underlying the observed protective effect of obesity. Early detection and targeted management strategies for dysphagia, particularly among older male patients with neurovascular comorbidities, may be essential for reducing associated complications and improving clinical outcomes.
