在70岁以上的老年人中，有40%的住院患者血清白蛋白低于3.5g/dl。为此，我们对德岛红十字会医院233例患者的12种症状与血清白蛋白的关系进行了研究。结果，我们发现血清白蛋白在十种症状上都有明显的下降。最低的症状是腹泻，其次是语言障碍，其次是进食困难。作为下一步的研究，我们调查了适应语言障碍患者的食物材料。因此，根据三原诚市总医院的膳食情况，从5种分级食品中选择3个严重程度等级来确定它们的物理性质。结果表明，1级吞咽困难患者以2000~7000N/m~2为宜，2级患者以1000~10000 N/m~2为宜，3级患者以12000 N/m~2以下为宜。

In the elderly person (over 70 years), there are reports that 40% of the inpatient are under serum albumin 3.5g/dl.Therefore we researched relationship the 12 symptom and serum albumin of 233 patients in Tokushima red cross hospital.

The lowest symptom is diarrhea, next is dysphasia, and next is poor feeding.As next research, we investigated adapted food material for dysphasia patients. According to the dietary performed in Seirei Mikatahara general hospital, therefore, classified into 3grades of severity were selected among 5 graded foods to determine their physical properties. As a result, the hardness of 2000〜7000N/m^2 was considered suitable for patients with dyspagia of Grade 1, 1000-10000 N/m^2 for those of Grade 2, and 12000 N/m2 or less for those of Grade 3.
