ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to describe relationships between oral status, dysphagia and malnutrition in a hospitalised older people.BackgroundUndernutrition in older people is a major concern in geriatric hospital wards. Different factors can modify nutritional status like dysphagia or oral status.Materials and methodsAbout 159 consecutive inpatients (108 women, 51 men) were examined. Comprehensive gerontological data at baseline and nutritional status according to BMI, MNA and serum albumin concentration, dependency according to ADL scores, dietary intake, swallowing capacities and oral status were collected. Swallowing capacities and dietary intake were reassessed 1week after.ResultsMean age was 85.28 (SD 5.68). Seventy-seven patients were malnourished (MNA) and 34 had dysphagia. Oral treatment was necessary in 142 patients (89.30% of all population). Candidiasis was present in 17 patients and salivary flow reduction in 50. Patients with dysphagia had the lowest dietary intake. After 1week, patients with dysphagia were retested and dysphagia had abated in three of them. Dysphagia and undernutrition were associated (p
