I focus specifically on screening and non-instrumental assessment for dysphagia as well as intervention approaches aiming at preventing and/or improving sarcopenic dysphagia during hospitalization and after discharge to the municipality, and thereby enabling older adult to maintain their oral intake and nutritional status.
