Dysphagia is considered a social problem in the super-aging society. However, age-related changes in swallowing-related muscles have not been fully deciphered. We aimed to identify intramuscular fatty infiltration and muscle atrophy in multiple swallowing-related muscles on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, an appropriate muscle strength parameter for the evaluation of swallowing-related muscle mass was examined. We analyzed the Dixon MRI results of 20 elderly and 20 young adults without head and neck cancer, stroke, neuromuscular disease, or whole-body sarcopenia to evaluate intramuscular fatty infiltration (IMF) and lean muscle mass (LMM) in the tongue, geniohyoid, and pharyngeal muscles. The pharyngeal lumen size was also assessed. Tongue pressure, jaw-opening strength, occlusal force, and head-lifting strength were evaluated within a week before and after MRI. Aging significantly affected the IMF of the swallowing-related muscles, and the tongue muscle was most affected, followed by the pharyngeal muscle and then the geniohyoid muscle. Only the LMM of the geniohyoid muscle significantly decreased with aging. The pharyngeal lumen size did not significantly differ between the elderly and young participants, and only tongue pressure was significantly correlated with tongue, geniohyoid, and pharyngeal muscle mass. IMF is primarily associated with age-related composition changes in swallowing-related muscles, and it is commonly observed in the tongue and pharyngeal muscles. The geniohyoid muscle is more at risk of muscle atrophy rather than fatty infiltration. In addition, tongue pressure can be a parameter for the evaluation of swallowing-related muscle mass.
