Subject: [Dysphagia] Management of the ageing swallow

> Hello,
>
> I was wondering (hoping!) the listserve might be able to offer some
assistance. A colleague of mine is completing a presentation on management
of the ageing swallow/deconditioning. She was looking for
references/articles/evidence to support the idea that poor oral health can
affect the swallow process. (not that it is an indicator for dysphagia).
Does anyone have any good references? Possibly along the lines of changes in
taste/sensation/oral awareness/bolus formation etc?? I know this is very
general but any help would be appreciated. Thankyou,
