Dysphagia is a common condition in institutionalized older adults, affecting about 50% of this population. It is associated with high risks in nutrition, cognition, function, social interaction, and emotional well-being. This review highlights the important relationship between dysphagia and various health-related risk factors in this population.
Background: Dysphagia is considered a geriatric syndrome that is characterized by inability to or difficulty in safely and effectively forming or moving the food bolus toward the esophagus. This pathology is very common and affects approximately 50% of institutionalized older people. Dysphagia is often accompanied by high nutritional, functional, social, and emotional risks. This relationship implies a higher rate of morbidity, disability, dependence, and mortality in this population. This review is aimed at studying the relationship be-tween dysphagia and different health-related risk factors in institutionalized older people.Method: We conducted a systematic review. The bibliographic search was performed in the Web of Science, Medline, and Scopus databases. Data extraction and methodological quality were evaluated by two independent researchers.Results. Twenty-nine studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A clear relationship between the development and progression of dysphagia and a high nutritional, cognitive, functional, social, and emotional risk in institutionalized older adults was found. Conclusions. There is an important relationship between these health conditions that shows the need for research and new approaches to considerations such as their prevention and treatment as well as the design of protocols and procedures that will help reduce the percentage of morbidity, disability, dependence, and mor-tality in older people.
