“…Significant predictors for OD were frailty (3.02, 95%CI: 1.56–5.88), age (1.17, 95%CI: 1.01–1.35), nutritional status (0.72, 95%CI: 0.57–0.92), ATS (0.86, 95%CI: 0.77–0.97), ATE-Target Max (0.90, 95%CI: 0.84–0.97), PTE-Target Max (0.92, 95%CI: 0.86–0.99), ADL (0.91), IADL (0.67), and depression (1.32). Conclusions The findings suggest that tongue strength and endurance, measured by IOPI, are more effective parameters than tongue pressure, with frailty, age, nutritional status, ATS, ATE-Target Max, PTE-Target Max, ADL, IADL, and depression being essential for early screening of OD in community-dwelling older adults. …”
