A physical examination procedure was used to evaluate oral motor functions in a population of 257 community-dwelling males and females 23-88 yr old. An increased prevalence of altered motor performance with age was found for parameters measuring lip posture and masticatory muscle function. Males, but not females, showed a higher prevalence of alterations in tongue function and in swallowing.
