PurposeTo examine the associations between swallowing-related muscle characteristics and sarcopenic parameters.MethodsWe included 147 community-dwelling older adults (age: 71.6 ± 4.7 years, body mass index: 23.0 ± 2.7 kg/m2(mean ± standard deviation), men: 50; women: 97) and categorized them into robust (n= 125), low-function (n= 17), and sarcopenia (n= 5) groups based on the diagnostic criteria of the Asia Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019. We evaluated the geniohyoid muscle (GHM) and tongue characteristics (muscle quantity and quality). The cross-sectional area (CSA) indicated the muscle quantity, and echo intensity (EI) values indicated the muscle quality. A multiple regression analysis was performed to clarify the relationship of swallowing-related muscle characteristics and strength with sarcopenic parameters.ResultsThe grip strength (CSA of GHM:β= 1.64,p= 0.03) and skeletal muscle mass index (CSA of tongue:β= 74.81,p= 0.003, EI of tongue:β= 1.92,p= 0.009) were better indicators of swallowing-related muscle characteristics.ConclusionThese findings may facilitate the early detection of aging-related deterioration in swallowing-related musculature through the diagnostic process of sarcopenia and increase our understanding of muscle physiology.
