Abstract
Purpose: To examine the velocity of hyolaryngeal excursion in different age and gender groups. Method: Velocity of hyolaryngeal excursion was calculated using videofluoroscopic swallowing examinations (VFSEs) of 37 individuals. Statistical comparisons were made by two-way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) with between subject variables being age and gender, and within subject variable being bolus volume (5 ml and 10 ml). Significance level was set as p<0.025. Results: The velocity of hyolaryngeal excursion in older individuals was significantly slower than in younger individuals. There was no gender and bolus volume difference in the velocity of hyolaryngeal excursion. Conclusion: Slower velocity of hyolaryngeal excursion may put older populations at higher risk for aspiration in case of illness or accident. The preventive approach is essential.
