Overview
Dysphagia is a common symptom seen in the elderly poplulation owing to senile physiological changes in the muscles involved in deglutition. It is also seen in other age groups, subsequent to other diseases such as esophageal webs, esophageal cancer, structural damage to the esophagus.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- The annual incidence of esophageal food impaction is 25 per 100,000 persons per year.[1][2]
- The incidence is higher in males as compared to females.
- The incidence progressively increases with age, reaching the peak around seventh decade of life.
Prevalance
- Increased prevalance of dysphagia is found in post-stroke patients, acute care settings and nursing care facilities.[3][4]
Age
- Swallowing disorders can occur in all age groups, resulting from congenital abnormalities, structural damage, and/or medical conditions.[5]
- Swallowing problems are a common complaint among older individuals, and the incidence of dysphagia is higher in the elderly,[6]
- In patients who have had strokes,[7] and in patients who are admitted to acute care hospitals or chronic care facilities.
