Abstract: Sarcopenic dysphagia, a dysphagia caused by decreased skeletal muscle mass, has a high prevalence in the elderly population and can cause asphyxia, aspiration, malnutrition or other complications, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. At present, the relevant research on this disease in China is still in its infancy, and a unified consensus on diagnosis and treatment has not yet been formed. Therefore, this article provides an overview of the concept, pathogenesis, and major risk factors for sarcopenic dysphagia, including nutritional deficiencies, physical inactivity, aging, cerebrovascular injury, poor oral environment, and peripheral nerve damage. Interventions were discussed, including adjusting eating posture, resistance training, nutritional interventions, neuromuscular electrical stimulation, pharmacotherapy, and multidisciplinary intervention strategies. The aim of this study is to provide a theoretical basis for the early prevention and intervention of sarcopenic dysphagia, and to provide a reference for future research and clinical practice.
