ABSTRACT

O Objetivo desse estudo foi investigar o impacto das alterações de deglutição na qualidade de vida de idosos institucionalizados. Aplicou-se uma avaliação de motricidade orofacial, o mini-exame de estado mental e o questionário Quality of Life in Swallowing Disorders - SWAL-QOL. Observamos que, embora as alterações de deglutição causem impacto na qualidade de vida dos idosos, esses não têm consciência do problema, entendendo o mesmo como uma alteração inerente ao processo de envelhecimento.
