摘　　要：Dysphagia has been classified as a“geriatric syndrome”and can lead to serious complications that result in a tremendous burden on population health and healthcare resources worldwide.A characteristic age-related change in swa-llowing is defined as“presbyphagia.”Medical imaging has shown some changes that seriously affect the safety and efficacy of swallowing.However,there is a general lack of awareness of the effects of aging on swallowing function and a belief that these changes are part of normal aging.Our review provides an overview of presbyphagia,which has been a neglected health problem for a long time.Attention and awareness of dysphagia in the elderly population should be strengthened,and targeted intervention measures should be actively imple-mented.
