Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to explore how health-related quality of life (QOL) connects with swallowing function in independent older adults (65+) living in the community in Japan.
- - Researchers surveyed 500 participants on various factors including BMI, swallowing disorders, QOL, sleep quality, and depression, and conducted comparisons between groups at risk for aspiration.
- - Findings indicated that both physical and mental aspects of QOL were linked to aspiration risk, suggesting that issues related to eating and swallowing may significantly affect the overall health and well-being of older adults.
