Baseline Characteristics

21 healthy adults aged 75 years or older with no underlying disease causing swallowing dysfunction

Participant flow

A total of thirty individuals were recruited in anticipation of withdrawals or dropouts, aiming for twenty study subjects, evenly divided between men and women. Due to scheduling conflicts and other factors, twenty-one potential participants were secured. All of them attended on the day of the study. Twenty individuals were selected as study subjects based on the exclusion criteria. After the study, six individuals were excluded due to incomplete records of study food intake, missing data, incorrect use of equipment, and difficulty interpreting waveforms. Consequently, fourteen individuals, consisting of seven men and seven women with an average age of eighty-one point five seven years and a standard deviation of three point five zero years, were included as analysis subjects.
