Abstract
This study demonstrates that semisolid foods are the cause of a large number of asphyxiations, especially among the elderly. Knowledge of the fact that semisolid foods are a high-risk factor in elderly individuals should be distributed in public and private healthcare systems, and awareness could be a first step in reducing the incidence of food/foreign body asphyxia.
