Frailty and Dysphagia in Older Adults
The purpose of this research study is to figure out if there are physical factors such as cognition level, nutrition status, walking speed, and handgrip strength that are associated with the development of swallowing problems. Investigators want to better understand how swallowing problems develop in older adults with and without frailty. Identifying factors that contribute to swallowing problems, can develop therapies in the future to improve swallowing outcomes for older adults. This study will be done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison). A total of about 69 people will participate in this study.
