Abstract
Prevention, early detection and effective rehabilitation of dysphagia are important issues to be considered in an aging society. Previous studies have shown conflicting findings regarding the association between dysphagia and its potential risk factors, including age, malnutrition, oral conditions, lifestyle and medical history. Herein, we assessed the prevalence and association of dysphagia with potential risk factors in 50- to 79-year-old adults dwelling in a community in Japan.
In this study, there were 532 participants (185 males and 347 females). Participants who responded positively to the question “Do you sometimes choke on drinks/food such as tea and soup?” or those who presented with abnormal repetitive saliva swallowing test findings were diagnosed with dysphagia. The data collected from these participants included the following: number of teeth, occurrence of oral dryness, age, body mass index, serum albumin concentration, smoking, drinking and exercise habits, presence of diseases, such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension, and questions from the Mini–Mental State Examination.
Dysphagia was observed in 33 males (17.8%) and 76 females (21.9%). To explore the effect of the potential risk factors on the prevalence of dysphagia, a model was built by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Using the forced entry method, oral dryness (odds ratio [OR] =3.683 and
This cross-sectional study demonstrated associations between oral conditions and dysphagia. Factors such as oral dryness and number of teeth may contribute to dysphagia more so than aging, lifestyle and comorbidity in community-dwelling adults over the age of 50.

Previously, Serra-Prat et al reported that the signs of dysphagia were prevalent in 27.2% of subjects aged 70 and older.<xref rid="b3-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">3</xref> Additionally, previous studies have shown conflicting findings regarding the association between dysphagia and potential risk factors, such as age, malnutrition, oral conditions, lifestyle and medical history (such as cognitive function).<xref rid="b2-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>–<xref rid="b7-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">7</xref> These studies included participants with various characteristics, such as pneumonia patients, residents in care homes, frail elderly people and the community-dwelling population. Okamoto et al reported the relationship between dysphagia and tooth loss in community-dwelling independent elderly adults.<xref rid="b4-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">4</xref> Another study showed that Care Dependency Scale scores, malnutrition and disease clusters, such as dementia, nervous system disorders and cerebrovascular disease/hemiparesis, were associated with the presence of subjective dysphagia.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref> Lindgren and Janzon reported complaints of swallowing difficulty with several clinical findings among 50- to 79-year-old males and females living in an urban area; they described the consequences of these symptoms in terms of changing dietary habits and medical history but were unable to define potential risk factors of dysphagia.<xref rid="b4-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>,<xref rid="b6-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">6</xref> In previous studies, the number of examinations for participants was different. Furthermore, risk factors were not examined by sex differences.

Epidemiological studies evaluating the prevention, early detection and effective rehabilitation of dysphagia should focus on patients above 50 years of age. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the frequency of dysphagia and its risk factors in rural, community-dwelling people aged 50–80 years.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods|subjects"><title>Patients and methods</title><sec sec-type="subjects"><title>Participants</title><p>This study was a part of an ongoing community-based project entitled the Iwaki Health Promotion Project and comprised 651 volunteers (234 males and 417 females; ≥50 years) who participated in 2015. These participants were rural residents of the Iwaki district located in Hirosaki in northern Japan. The overall objective of this project was health promotion for the general population. All study subjects participated voluntarily in the Iwaki project in response to a public announcement, and it was estimated that more than 1,000 males and females participated in this study. They participated cognitively and were physically capable of reaching the research venue by referring to a map. The exclusion criteria in the present study were medical histories of cancer, stroke, ischemic heart disease and Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, patients with incomplete data were excluded from the study; in total, 532 participants (185 males and 347 females) were included. Data collection for this study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Hirosaki University School of Medicine, and all participants provided written informed consent.</p><p>Demographic data, such as age and sex; lifestyle, such as smoking and drinking; and medical history were obtained from self-reported questionnaires and interviews. To assess the exercise habits of the participants, they were also asked to choose from two items: none or 1–7 days/week. The height and weight of the participants were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated using the following equation: BMI (kg/m<sup>2</sup>) = weight (kg)/(height [m] × height [m]). Malnutrition was assessed based on BMI <20 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. In this study, serum albumin (ALB) concentration (g/dL) was considered as a confounding factor because it represents nourishment. Non-fasting blood samples were obtained, and plasma concentrations of ALB were measured using standard procedures in conjunction with a completely automated system (SRL Ltd, Tokyo, Japan). The Mini–Mental State Examination (MMSE) was administered to all participants to measure their global cognitive status. This test assessed the orientation to place and time, short-term memory, episodic long-term memory, subtraction ability, ability to construct sentences and oral language ability. The maximum score was set as 30.<xref rid="b12-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">12</xref></p></sec><sec><title>Assessment of dysphagia</title><p>To evaluate subjective dysphagia, we asked the question “Do you sometimes choke on drinks/food such as tea and soup?”. An objective assessment of dysphagia was carried out using the repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), which detects patients who experience aspiration.<xref rid="b13-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="b14-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">14</xref> The patients were asked to perform saliva swallows (dry) as many times as possible in 30 seconds. If the patient was unable to perform three consecutive swallows, he or she was likely to have dysphagia associated with aspiration. Participants who responded positively to the question or presented with abnormal RSST findings were diagnosed with impaired swallowing.</p></sec><sec><title>Oral examination</title><p>Dental examinations were conducted by trained and experienced dentists under artificial lighting, with both the dentist and the patient in seated positions.

Additionally, odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated using multiple logistic regression analysis. To explore the effect of potential risk factors of dysphagia on the prevalence of subjective dysphagia, a model was built by multivariate analysis using the forced entry method. Variables presenting a <italic>P</italic>-value of <0.25 in the univariate analysis were then included in the multivariate model as non-cases (0) and cases (1) of dysphagia. Goodness of fit was performed based on the technique of Hosmer and Lemeshow. A <italic>P</italic>-value of <0.05 was applied as the cutoff. The Hosmer and Lemeshow value was calculated to indicate the fit of the final model: the higher the <italic>P</italic>-value, the better the fit of the model. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows (Version 24; IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was used for statistical analysis.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="results"><title>Results</title><sec><title>Prevalence of dysphagia</title><p>Dysphagia was observed in 33 males (17.8%), 76 females (21.9%) and a combination of 109 males and females (20.5%) of the 532 participants, as shown in <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f1-cia-12-515">Figures 1</xref> and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f2-cia-12-515">2</xref>, respectively.

The use of video fluorescence or video endoscopy of swallowing has been recommended for precise examination of dysphagia in the clinical setting.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref> However, these methods are considered impractical for investigating a community-dwelling population due to their complex apparatus and the need of radiation exposure. Thus, simple questionnaire and RSST were used to evaluate dysphagia in this study. One of the most common screening tests for dysphagia has shown a high correlation with video fluorography of swallowing, especially in the case of aspiration.<xref rid="b14-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">14</xref> The sensitivity and specificity of the RSST compared to the use of video fluorography were 98% and 66%, respectively. In order to increase the accuracy of detection, a simple questionnaire was also used to ensure that certain conditions such as inapparent dysphagia were included in the result.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref> The prevalence rates of dysphagia in our study were 17.8% in males and 21.9% in females. As these results were similar to those reported by Okamoto et al (15.1%), this study was considered appropriate for the evaluation of dysphagia.<xref rid="b4-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">4</xref></p><p>In this study, there were significant differences between dysphagia and oral dryness in both sexes.<xref rid="b4-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">4</xref> Normally, crushed food is mixed with saliva to form bolus, thereby, enabling food to be swallowed easily. Oral dryness is affected by the preparation phase (chewing) of the feeding/swallowing function. As dysphagia can result in reduced or altered oral intake of liquid, it increases the risk of oral dryness.<xref rid="b3-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">3</xref></p><p>In contrast to males, the number of teeth did not show any significant correlations with dysphagia in females. In some people with dysphagia, ingested food tends to remain in the mouth after a meal, as they are unable to facilitate the movement of the food from the oral cavity to the stomach by swallowing. As a result, their oral hygiene becomes poor, thereby, leading to loss of teeth.</p><p>The mechanism of swallowing is complex. It consists of occlusal support, mandibular stopping by occlusion, elevation of the hyoid bone, and movement of the larynx and tongue. The stability of the tongue apex has been shown to affect the swallowing process.<xref rid="b15-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="b16-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">16</xref> When food is ingested, we use upper and lower teeth to crush the food. Thus, decrease in the number of remaining teeth reduces the fixation and stability of the tongue tip, which, in turn, affects the squeezing movement seen during swallowing. Age-related changes in the position of hyoid bone may be a component of decreased swallowing safety and aspiration in older adults.<xref rid="b17-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">17</xref> The distance between the hyoid bone and mandible increases with age, and the position of the hyoid bone is correlated with aspiration in older males. Such difference was distinct between males and females, and it was further affected by the number of teeth and prevalence of dysphagia in the present study.<xref rid="b18-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">18</xref></p><p>Considering the results obtained from this study, improvement in oral conditions might affect dysphagia.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="b15-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="b19-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">19</xref> Other studies have shown that oral hygiene is related to dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia. It is important for patients with dysphagia to maintain oral hygiene, as it prevents tooth loss and reduces the risk of aspiration pneumonia by reducing the number of pathogens (such as bacteria implicated in periodontitis).<xref rid="b20-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">20</xref> Moreover, stimulations caused during oral care may affect the swallowing reflex and may improve swallowing ability.<xref rid="b21-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">21</xref> Furthermore, oral massage improves the flow rate of saliva in patients with xerostomia.<xref rid="b22-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>,<xref rid="b23-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">23</xref> Thus, management of oral condition might prove beneficial because of its association with the teeth health and other conditions, such as oral dryness, dysphagia and pneumonia. Although most of the studies investigated older or frail people, this study showed the relationship between oral conditions and dysphagia in middle-aged and elderly adults.</p><p>The deterioration of general condition and health habits may also lead to dysphagia. The physiology of swallowing changes with aging.<xref rid="b2-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="b7-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">7</xref> Reductions in muscle mass and connective tissue and elasticity result in loss of strength and range of motion. van der Maarel-Wierink et al listed independent lifestyle, malnutrition, cognitive function, nervous system disease, cerebrovascular disease and hemiplegia as potential risk factors for swallowing disorders in elderly.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref> Some researchers have also pointed out that nutritional status and muscle strength are related to motor function during swallowing.<xref rid="b5-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="b6-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>,<xref rid="b15-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">15</xref> Furthermore, dementia patients are likely to be suffering with dysphagia due to impairment of the neurotransmission mechanism.<xref rid="b2-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="b7-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">7</xref> In the current study, it was found that there was no significant difference in serum ALB concentration, BMI or exercise habits among the population, and age was not significantly related to dysphagia.</p><p>The results obtained from this study are not in accordance with those of previous studies. The reason for this may be due to the fact that unlike the previous studies, subjects who participated in this study were considered healthy. This is evident from the high MMSE scores (28.8±2.1 in men and 29.0±1.8 in women) obtained for current subjects. All study participants were cognitively and physically capable of arriving at the research venue by using a map. The results of this study are representative of dysphagia in the community-dwelling population or in the more healthy population compared to those of previous studies. Using the volume-viscosity swallow test, Serra-Prat et al have examined the severity of dysphagia. They reported that the signs of dysphagia, impaired swallowing efficacy, impaired safety and aspiration were prevalent in 27.2%, 20.5%, 15.4% and 6.7% of the samples, respectively.<xref rid="b3-cia-12-515" ref-type="bibr">3</xref> However, they did not examine oral conditions. In this study, we did not clarify the type of dysphagia, and we examined oral conditions. We speculated that oral dryness and the number of teeth might have stronger associations with swallowing efficacy (impaired labial seal, oral or pharyngeal residue and piecemeal deglutition) rather than swallowing safety (changes in voice quality, cough or decrease in oxygen saturation), especially because participants in this study were considered to be health conscious. Therefore, for general population or healthy population, oral dryness and the number of teeth were more critical factors than other factors, such as nutritional status, lifestyle or previous medical history.</p></sec><sec><title>Limitations</title><p>There were several limitations to this study. As the study design was cross-sectional, it did not allow us to find out the detailed causal connections among the measured items. Thus, longitudinal studies must be considered in the future. Moreover, all subjects voluntarily participated in the Iwaki project in response to public announcement, and it was estimated that more than 1,000 males and females participated in this study. Therefore, the study participants were not randomly selected. Certain impaired efficacies (presence of oral, pharyngeal residue, piecemeal deglutition and impaired lip closure) are important part of dysphagia, although swallowing efficacy was not evaluated (only aspiration). The 10-item Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) that is a self-reported questionnaire or the symptoms associated with dysphagia (Sydney swallowing questionnaire) which assesses the severity of dysphagia. In this study, we did not examine the severity of dysphagia. However, the sensitivity and specificity of RSST compared to video fluorography were 98% and 66%, respectively. RSST was found to be useful in the evaluation of dysphagia. Additionally, this study did not consider the effect of removable dentures. Hence, we were unable to consider the effect of dentures (denture position, form and suitability, etc.) on dysphagia. Future studies are warranted to dissect the impact of dentures, severity and type efficacy of dysphagia.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>In this study, the prevalence of dysphagia was approximately 20% in a Japanese community-dwelling population aged 50–79 years. This cross-sectional study revealed relationships between oral conditions, especially oral dryness, and dysphagia. Thus, oral dryness and the number of teeth may be more important risk factors than aging, lifestyle and comorbidity when considering the dynamics of dysphagia in community-dwelling older adults. However, the interpretation of our results was hampered by lack of data, including insight about denture usage and longitudinal observations. Therefore, future comprehensive longitudinal studies are warranted.</p></sec></body><back><ack><title>Acknowledgments</title><p>The authors would like to thank all of their coworkers in this study (especially Kaori Sawada, Youhei Sekine, Rina Tanaka, Itoyo Tokuda, Anna Satake and Toshiyuki Osanai) for their contributions and assistance.
