“…All the participants self-reported no speech, language, and/or neurological problems. Only those participants who obtained a score of < 3 on the Kannada version of Eating Assessment Tool 10 (EAT 10 K) [4] were considered for the study. The exclusion criteria for the participants were poor auditory verbal comprehension and physical impairment (paralysis, quadriplegia, diplegia).…”

This data article accompanies the manuscript titled ‘The Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS): reliability, validity and normative data for the adult Indian population.’ TOMASS is a widely used procedure to assess the effectiveness of solid bolus ingestion. Previous studies have established normative values for 4 to 80+ years across a range of commercially available crackers and countries. In this data set we report normative TOMASS data for the adult Indian population. Data was recorded from 300 typical individuals in the age range of 21 to 80 years grouped by age and sex. Participants were instructed to eat a commercially (locally) available biscuit ‘as quickly and comfortably as possible,’ and the task was video recorded. The recorded video samples were analyzed to obtain measures of the number of bites, number of masticatory cycles, number of swallows, and total time taken to complete the ingestion of biscuit.

A wide body of literature has demonstrated that the neural representation of healthy swallowing is mostly bilateral, with one hemisphere dominant over the other. While several studies have demonstrated the presence of laterality for swallowing related functions among young adults, the data on older adults are still growing. The purpose of this paper is to investigate potential changes in hemispheric dominance in healthy aging adults for swallowing related tasks using a behavioral dual-task paradigm. A modified dual-task paradigm was designed to investigate the potential reduction in hemispherical specialization for swallowing function. Eighty healthy right-handed participants in the study were divided into two groups [Group 1: young adults (18–40 years) and Group 2: older adults (65 and above)]. All the participants performed a timed water swallow test at baseline and with two interference conditions (silent word repetition, and facial recognition). The results of the study revealed the following 1) a statistically significant effect of age on swallow performance; 2) statistically significant effect of each of the interference tasks on two of the swallow measures (VPS and VPT) in younger adults; and 3) no significant effect of the interference tasks on the swallowing performance of older adults. These findings suggest that aging substantially affects swallowing in older individuals, and this potentially accompanies a reduction in the hemispheric specialization for swallowing related tasks.

“…Other self-reported questionnaires commonly used in dysphagia have exclusively clinical purposes and poor psychometric properties, 19 and/or were not designed for older adults specifically, as with the EAT-10. [14][15][16] That tool was originally proposed to establish the severity of initial dysphagia symptoms and to monitor treatment outcomes by self-reporting 14 ; that is, it was designed for symptomatic adults at any age. Some items in EAT-10 can be answered only by people who clearly recognise a swallowing problem (eg "My swallowing problem has caused me to lose weight"), and this is a limitation for screening.…”

“…Substantial problems with both the reliability and validity of the EAT-10 have been reported. [16][17][18] The Easy Dysphagia Symptom Questionnaire (EDSQ) is a dysphagia screening questionnaire for older adults developed in Korea. 11 Although this questionnaire has some well-fitting accuracy parameters, there is a lack reporting of evidence validity based on content, process responses and internal structure.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9] However, many of the self-reported questionnaires used to screen oropharyngeal dysphagia in older adults do not present clear, valid evidence with robust psychometric parameters for detecting this condition. 10,11 Even, the most commonly self-report dysphagia measures used in either clinical practice or clinical research, such as the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), [12][13][14][15][16] have poor psychometric properties. [17][18][19] Given this gap and the need to detect oropharyngeal dysphagia among community-dwelling older adults, a self-reported epidemiological questionnaire for screening oropharyngeal dysphagia in older adults was developed 20 and called "RaDI" after its Brazilian Portuguese title (Rastreamento de Disfagia Orofaríngea em Idosos), which is a low-cost test, easily applied by any health professional with asymptomatic older people or to those with symptoms which may have been ignored because they were thought to be natural to the ageing process.…”

Objective The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of an epidemiological screening questionnaire for oropharyngeal dysphagia in older people. Background Determining the cut‐off point and the accuracy of the self‐reported epidemiological questionnaire for screening oropharyngeal dysphagia in older adults is important for mass screening, which may estimate the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Materials and Methods This was a cross‐sectional diagnostic study with a convenience sample of 70 older adults over 60 years of age of both sexes, aged between 60 and 90 years (mean age 69.2; SD, 7.6). It used a screening questionnaire with nine ordered items response options resulted in a score ranging from 0 to 18. The criterion test was the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing, with analysis of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC), with a 5% significance level. Results Oropharyngeal dysphagia frequency by the criterion test was 73%, with no significant difference between age and sex. The area under the ROC curve was 0.88 (95% confidence interval: 0.79‐0.98) above the cut‐off point 3. This screening questionnaire showed good parameters of sensitivity (80%), specificity (89%), positive predictive value (95%), negative predictive value (63%), positive likelihood ratio (7.64), negative likelihood ratio (0.22) and accuracy (83%). Conclusions This questionnaire may be a satisfactory screening tool for estimating the prevalence of oropharyngeal dysphagia in older adults.
