Background/purpose To identify age-related changes in maximum tongue pressure (MTP), it is necessary to determine individual biological age. The fitness age score (FAS) is used to calculate the biological age, based on the one-leg standing time with eyes open, vertical jump height, grip strength, functional reach, and 10-m walk time. Materials and methods The study included 112 community-dwelling elderly adults (42 males and 70 females). We investigated MTP, FAS, and body mass index (BMI) at baseline and 5 years later. MTP was determined with a pressure measurement device. Results A significant reduction in MTP, FAS, and BMI in both male and female subjects was observed at 5 years. A negative correlation between change in MTP and baseline MTP was observed, but there was no correlation between MTP change and baseline FAS, BMI, and change in FAS and BMI. Conclusion Age-related decline in MTP might be associated with high MTP, reflecting decreased reserve. Additionally, age-related decline in tongue function might be different from that of physical function.

“…The strength of the tongue has been evaluated by measuring the maximum tongue pressure against the palate [14, 15]. There are some reports that tongue function in the elderly declines with age [14, 15, 19, 20]. However, the effects of malnutrition on tongue volume in the elderly are still unknown.…”

Tongue Thickness Relates to Nutritional Status in the Elderly

Many elderly people under long-term care suffer from malnutrition caused by dysphagia, frequently leading to sarcopenia. Our hypothesis is that sarcopenia may compromise oral function, resulting in dysphagia. The objectives of this study were to evaluate sarcopenia of the lingual muscles by measuring the tongue thickness, and elucidate its relationship with nutritional status. We examined 104 elderly subjects (mean age = 80.3 ± 7.9 years). Anthropometric data, such as triceps skinfold thickness and midarm muscle area (AMA), were obtained. The tongue thickness of the central part was determined using ultrasonography. Measurement was performed twice and the mean value was obtained. The relationship between tongue thickness and nutritional status was analyzed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. AMA and age were identified by multiple-regression analysis as factors influencing tongue thickness. The results of this study suggest that malnutrition may induce sarcopenia not only in the skeletal muscles but also in the tongue.

“…De acuerdo a lo reportado por Ardakani esta técnica se puede implementar para diagnosticar con certeza las patologías de la deglución, ya que posibilita la visualización directa de los movimientos de la lengua en planos coronal y sagital. Por lo tanto, esta una técnica permite evaluar con precisión la fase preparatoria y oral de la deglución (Ardakani, 2006).…”

RESUMEN: La deglución es una función indispensable para el ser humano, es una actividad compleja que necesita de la participación y coordinación de múltiples estructuras. Actualmente existen diferentes métodos para evaluar este proceso, sin embargo, la capacidad de describir el comportamiento de las estructuras en sus tres dimensiones es limitada. Se ha demostrado que el movimiento lingual, es clave para la formación del bolo alimenticio y la propulsión de este a la orofaringe. Es así como se han identificado patrones de movimiento lingual a través de diferentes técnicas. El objetivo de esta revisión es reportar las diferentes técnicas de evaluación de la deglución e identificar los patrones que establece cada una de ellas. Se realizó una revisión de la literatura en distintas bases de datos, a través de una estrategia de búsqueda sistematizada. Se utilizaron las palabras clave "Deglutition" "Swallowing" "Movement Tracking" "evaluation" y "patterns" en inglés y español. Se incluyeron estudios sin límite en la fecha de publicación, realizados en humanos, en idioma inglés, español y portugués. Se encontraron diferentes técnicas para evaluar la deglución, videofluoroscopía, endoscopía, articulografía electromagnética, electromiografía, tomografía computarizada, manometría, electropalatografía y ultrasonido. Entre las cuales la videofluoroscopía es una de las más utilizadas, con esta técnica se ha intentado describir patrones del movimiento durante la deglución, al igual que la articulografía electromagnética. Por otro lado, la electromiografía ha descrito patrones de deglución, pero en relación a la contracción y relajación de ciertos grupos musculares. Existen diferentes métodos para evaluar la deglución, cada una de estas técnicas ha permitido dilucidar de mejor forma este proceso, no obstante, es necesario una mayor cantidad de estudios comparativos que permitan resolver las dudas sobre la validez y la eficacia de las técnicas descritas.
