These 1 1 indicators should pay attention to the dysphagia of the elderly.

Distinguished professor Xu Minglun, president of the Asia-Pacific Dental Education Association and the Department of Dentistry of Naitonal Yang-Ming University, shared that he bought his father's favorite steamed bread for him to taste. Later, because my father's chewing function deteriorated, he refused to eat even when he saw his favorite food, which led to weight loss. He appealed to the public to pay attention to chewing and swallowing training as early as possible, and try not to disturb the elders at home to avoid swallowing difficulties when eating.

It's hard to imagine the food now, but there's no way to enjoy the delicious food! Distinguished professor Xu Minglun, president of the Asia-Pacific Dental Education Association and the Department of Dentistry of Naitonal Yang-Ming University, shared that he bought his father's favorite steamed bread for him to taste.

In the five stages of eating, it is very dangerous to eat badly.

Xu Minglun pointed out that the so-called dysphagia refers to the state that food cannot be recognized (preparation period), the tongue and jaw are poorly sealed (preparation period), the mouth cannot be opened (oral period), the jaw and pharynx are poorly sealed (pharyngeal period), the epiglottic cartilage or throat muscle group is dyskinesia (esophageal period), and any process is blocked and it is impossible to eat smoothly. Cerebrovascular disorders, dementia, abnormal pronunciation of oral organs, improper dentures after radiotherapy, physical and mental disorders and poor oral hygiene are all important reasons for dysphagia.

Degeneration of cerebellar reflex function and swallowing are easy to be swallowed by mistake.

Xu Minglun said that normal adults swallow 600 times to 1 0,000 times a day, of which less than 10% swallow voluntarily and consciously. However, for patients with dysphagia or aging, aspiration pneumonia may be induced by mistake if drinks, food or oral secretions enter the trachea by mistake due to the degeneration of cerebellar reflex. Once aspiration pneumonia is induced, the probability of aspiration pneumonia will be high in the future.

Characteristics of dysphagia 1 1 urge doctors to pay attention to oral exercise.

Xu Minglun suggested that if there are elders eating at home, try not to disturb them and let them eat seriously, otherwise it will be difficult to swallow and it will be dangerous to eat by mistake. If you want to prevent practicing "oral exercise" three times a day, chewing the gray matter in your brain often will not shrink, which will help the elderly to delay the occurrence of dementia-related diseases. The common phenomenon of chewing and swallowing difficulty is 1 1. If you find that your elders have difficulty swallowing, you must consult relevant doctors for assistance and treatment. At the same time, you should also call on the whole people to do oral exercise as soon as possible to slow down the related diseases of dementia in the future.
