Abstract
Videofluorographic and manometric examinations quantitatively demonstrated that the swallowing reflex was delayed and UES opening was impaired by aging. UES dysfunction may develop secondary by increased tonicity and decreased elasticity of the cricopharyngeal muscle. Stimulation of oropharyngeal sensory function and exercising the laryngeal levator muscles may be effective for age-related swallowing disorders.
