Özet

Purpose: Anatomical and physiological changes due to aging decrease the efficiency of swallowing and increase the risk of aspiration pneumonia. One of the underlying causes of recurrent pneumonia is swallowing dysfunction, with aspiration. This study aimed to compare the swallowing function in elderly patients with and without pneumonia and to investigate its association with malnutrition.
