Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to learn about oral and swallowing function in older adults presenting to the emergency department The hypothesis is that older adults often have problems with oral and swallowing function and these problems relate to other conditions Study activities are done during the emergency department visit and include providing saliva samples completing a bedside water swallow test completing oral function assessments completing respiratory function tests and answering survey questions
Detailed Description: Oropharyngeal dysphagia is characterized by changes in swallow event timing biomechanics and pressure generation that occur with advancing age resulting in aspiration of bacteria-laden saliva food and liquid into the lungs Currently oral and swallowing function is not routinely or comprehensively assessed in older adults despite poor oral health and oropharyngeal dysphagia being known risk factors for pneumonia the leading infectious cause of mortality among adults 65 This study seeks to extensively characterize oral and swallowing function in older adults presenting to the emergency department to clarify the relationship of oral hypofunction dysphagia and the upper airway microbiome To achieve this aim study procedures include a bedside dysphagia screen oral health assessment tongue pressure measurement masticatory function assessment respiratory function tests salivary compositional analysis oral microbiome analysis and microphysiological system analysis which applies saliva samples to a bronchiolar lumen model to mimic aspiration and quantify cellular and tissue responses to the saliva microbiome and secreted mediators
