社區長者身體活動與功能能力對虛弱及吞嚥困難之影響

// The Influence of Physical Activity and Functional Capacity on Frailty and Dysphagia in Community-Dwelling Older Adults

本研究探討老年人虛弱狀態與吞嚥困難的關聯｜結果顯示虛弱與自我報告的吞嚥問題（EAT-10評分）顯著相關，但與客觀吞嚥障礙（DIGEST評分）無明顯關係｜體能活動低者虛弱與吞嚥困難關聯更強，建議對虛弱長者進行吞嚥障礙篩檢，並結合體能干預提升照護成效。

// This study examined the link between frailty and dysphagia in older adults using objective swallowing assessments and self-reports. Frailty was significantly related to self-reported swallowing difficulties (EAT-10 scores) but not to objective swallowing impairment (DIGEST scores). The association was strong only in individuals with low physical activity levels, independent of functional capacity. The findings suggest screening frail elders for dysphagia and considering physical activity interventions in swallowing care.
