Abstract

<p>[Purpose] To clarify the relationships among swallowing, nutrition, and sarcopenia in patients with respiratory diseases. [Participants and Methods] A total of 59 (42 male and 17 female) respiratory medicine patients with a mean (± standard deviation) age of 65.5 ± 16.1, height of 161.3 ± 9.8 cm, and weight of 66.8 ± 24.2 kg were assessed using the following parameters: nutritional status based on scores from the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF); swallowing function based on tongue pressure and scores from the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10); and sarcopenia based on the hand grip strength and calf circumference. [Results] Eight (13.6%) patients were identified with malnutrition based on their MNA-SF scores. Sarcopenia was present in 15 (25.4%). The history of mental stress or acute disease over the past 3 months and Body Mass Index value were correlated with tongue pressure. The MNA-SF score was an independent factor for sarcopenia. [Conclusion] The prevalence of sarcopenia was high among respiratory medicine patients, and malnutrition, rather than tongue pressure, was associated with it.</p>
