Dental Factors Associated With Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Institutionalised Older Adults: A Systematic Review

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Aging is associated with a decline in physiological functions. Dysphagia, a disorder among older adults, impairs feeding and is related to morphological and functional changes in the stomatognathic system, which worsen with age‐related physiological decline, particularly among institutionalised older adults.
