Dysphagia is a condition characterized by difficulty swallowing. It is most commonly observed in older adults and may affect the ability to swallow liquids, solids, or both. Dysphagia can result from a variety of causes, including stroke, Parkinson\u2019s disease, dementia, cancer treatments, and even uncontrolled diabetes, where extreme dryness in the mouth contributes to swallowing difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n

Individuals with dysphagia are at risk of food or liquids entering the trachea and lungs, potentially causing coughing, choking, and pneumonia. Reduced ability to eat and drink can lead to decreased fluid and nutrient intake, which may result in dehydration, malnutrition, and even sarcopenia.<\/span><\/p>\n

To help people with swallowing disorders eat and drink safely, it is necessary to adjust the textures of foods and beverages. Using appropriate textures ensures safe swallowing, reduces risk, and helps prevent malnutrition.<\/span><\/p>\n
