CONFLICT OF INTEREST DISCLOSURE I have no potential conflict of interest to report
Infections Objective Malnutrition (Related aspiration) Functionality • Community dwelling elderly people → Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) ↓ frequency ↑ • Etiology Multiple factors • Usually an ignored clinical problem • OD A geriatric syndrome ↑ Mortality • OD Associated with adverse outcomes 1.Wirth, Rainer, et al. Clin Interv Aging 2016, 11: 189. 2.Sura L, et al. Clin Interv Aging. 2012;7:287-98.
Objective Treatment • Fraility Major interest in geriatrics strategies • Frail older adult Major issue of geriatrics Survivor expectation
Objective • Fraility ↑↑ In elderly • OD ↑↑ In elderly - ↑ more in nursing homes - ↑ in the presence of neurodegenerative disease Is there a relationship between them ??
Objective • Fragility-OD relationship in literature 1,2,3 -A few Studies -Limited number of cases available -Indirectly link available • Independent relationship? 1. Rofes L, et al.

Material and and method: • Prospective, Cross-sectional and Consecutively • Elderly patients evaluated from our outpatient clinic (≥60 y) BMI Measurement Malnutrition • July 2015-September 2016 (15 months) Hand grip • Age, sex, total illness and total number of medicines, presence of Frailty strenght FRAIL scale MNA-SF neurodegenerative disease, Katz GYA Calf • Dysphagia scanning with EAT-10 questionnaire (2 thresholds for circumference EAT-10 3 and ≥ 15) * Usual walking speed(UWS) *Cheney, et al. Annals of Otology, Rhin. & Laryn. , 2015, 124.5: 351-354.
Material and and method: : Statistics • Parameters with OD: univariat analysis (chi-square, ...) • OD independent factors: Regression (Linear and Logistic regression analysis)
Results 1138 elderly people EAT-10 questionnaire was applied • Average age 74.1± 7.3 (60-98) • 348 (30.6 %) male and 790 (69.4%) female
Results • EAT -10 questionnaire 1138 • ≥ 3 threshold dysphagia -63.7 %, (n=413) • ≥ 15 threshold dysphagia - 6.7 %, (n=76)
Results • FRAIL scale was applied to 851 patients. Fraility is around 28% in total Fraility Female Male Total (n=851) Normal 122 ( 21.1 %) 103 (37.9%) 225 (28.4 %) Female 32 %(n=579) Prefrail 269 ( 46.5 %) 116 (42.6%) 385 (45.2 %) Male 19 % (n=272) Frail 188 (32.5%) 53 (19.5%) 241 (28.2%) Total 579 272 851
Results • FRAIL data are available in 851 patients EAT-10 ≥ 3 : 62.0 % (n=527) EAT-10 ≥15 : 4.9 % (n=42) Frail+ EAT-10 ≥ 3 73.1 % (n=176) Frail + EAT-10 ≥ 15 13.6 % (n=33)

Discussion
We have found 16 results '' fraility oropharyngeal dysphagia '' in Pubmed
6 study were unconcerned Only 6 original 4 review paper
2015 15 studies were reviewed 9947 elderly people High quality 6 studies fraility(r = 0.34) However, there is insufficient evidence to describe independent risk factors at this time
Are the results sim imil ilar to our r study? : : Why hy? • Studies on the components of the fraility • Similar to our study because it reflects indirectly fraility but • Independent fraility relationship could not be shown in the studies.
Our study is strong because .. ... • We have too much patients • We included all the cases (no bias) • We examined a large number of factors (including neurodegenerative diseases) • We examined the patients we met each day (important for our practice) Missing aspects • It is not cross-sectional • Cause-effect relationship can not be established.
Why/how OD OD-Fraility are rela lated? Fraility Oropharyngeal Dysphagıa
Conclusions Hand grip strength Hand grip strength +FRAIL are evaluated together Usual Hand grip strength losed its significance Fraility walk Functionality UWS+MNA+FRAIL are evaluated together speed UWS+MNA losed their significance Malnutrition
Conclusions Hand grip strength, UWS, MNA,EGYA +FRAIL are evaluated together Only Fraility is significance • In the other studies this indirect relationship was shown (IADL and muscle strength are significant an indirect indicator of fraility)
