First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at how common swallowing and mouth health problems are in older adults who come to the emergency department. Researchers will test swallowing, oral health, and breathing, and ask questions to see how these issues connect to other health conditions. The goal is to better understand these problems in seniors, not to test a new treatment.
