Background: Dysphagia is commonly seen in patients with severe dementia and increases the risk of mortality. The nature swallowing disorders caused by cognitive difficulties differs from post-stroke dysphagia. relationship between dysphagia function vital for determining best diagnostic treatment plan dementia-associated Objectives: In current research, we suggest a model to identify role occurrence patients. Methods: Ninety will be recruited this experimental research. screened confirmed using albertinen screening (ADDS) video fluoroscopic exam (VFSE). Also, assessed mini-mental status examination (MMSE). information related dysphagic non-dysphagic entered into structural equation models. Finally, direct indirect (i.e., via cognition) relationships brain lesions evaluated. Results: present study provide evidence regarding individuals model. differences performance (presence or absence movement disorders) different types another Conclusions: Moreover, relative sensitivity various domains determined separate
