Cover story: A conceptual model was developed to create a basis for understanding the risk factors and outcomes associated with dysphagia in older adults. A literature review was conducted, and relevant, evidence-informed factors associated with dysphagia in older adults were identified. The synthesis of clinical expertise and theoretical underpinnings complemented the literature review, incorporating the socio-ecological model. The conceptual model illustrates the complex multifactorial relationship between dysphagia and individual, relationship, community, and societal factors. View this paper.

This study aimed to explore older adults’ perspectives on the facilitators/barriers to maintaining PA.

Received: 06 August 2024;  Published: 09 December 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2404291

Abstract

A conceptual model was developed to create a basis for understanding the risk factors and outcomes associated with dysphagia and to hypothesize the nature of the relationship between certain factors. The conceptual model was developed by two academic speech-language pathologists with ≥10 years research and clinical experience in swallowing and dysphagia in older adults. A comprehensive review of English-language literature was conducted, and relevant, evidence-informed factors associated with dy [...]
