Epidemiology and Demographics
Age
Swallowing disorders can occur in all age groups, resulting from congenital abnormalities, structural damage, and/or medical conditions.[1] Swallowing problems are a common complaint among older individuals, and the incidence of dysphagia is higher in the elderly,[2] in patients who have had strokes,[3] and in patients who are admitted to acute care hospitals or chronic care facilities.
