ABSTRACT

Introduction: Dysphagia is the subjective sensation of difficulty swallowing liquids or solids, caused by an alteration in one or more phases of swallowing. This condition is common in older adults and is associated with higher morbidity and mortality, dehydration, malnutrition, and risk of aspiration pneumonia, negatively affecting quality of life. The aim was to establish the prevalence of dysphagia in institutionalized and non-institutionalized older adults in Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area using the EAT-10 scale. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study evaluated the prevalence of dysphagia in institutionalized and non-institutionalized older adults in Bucaramanga and its metropolitan area. The EAT-10 scale was used for dysphagia screening, and the SF-12 was used to measure quality of life. A descriptive analysis of the different variables was performed, considering their measurement scales. Results: The study population consisted of 200 older adults, with a mean age of 75 years ± 7.59 years. Women represented 53.5% (107). A prevalence of dysphagia of 14% was found in the studied population. Conclusions: The prevalence of dysphagia is estimated at 14%, consistent with other studies. Standardized screening tools, such as validated scales in Spanish, facilitate early detection, prevent complications, and allow for multidisciplinary interventions.
