Abstract

Elderly people have progressive problems with swallowing function degradation as they get older. The degradation of swallowing function has a great impact on many living diets in the elderly, which easily causes body dehydration, nutrition imbalance, with and without susceptibility to aspiration pneumonia, problems with physiological function, and psychological problems. Common problems, elderly people fear of eating and drinking due to choking, self-social isolation, pulmonary trachea phlegm and other problems. The elderly will also have a decreased swallowing function, a reduced oral intake capacity, and a significantly lower ability to perform activities of daily living. To cite GUSS (gugging swallowing screen) swallowing function assessment scale and self-rated masticatory ability assessment scale, five elderly people with different age intervals were selected to implement clinical real-life observation and interview record, according to the research subjects’ self-conscious health and no swallowing function present status, the suggestions and precautions for planning self-improvement methods.
