The submental muscle activity duration parameters were the duration from the onset of swallowing to the maximum amplitude (duration A), duration from the maximum amplitude to the end of the swallowing activity (duration B), and total duration. The amplitude parameters were mean and maximum amplitude. Maximum lingual pressures were also measured for comparison with sEMG parameters.Results: Duration A was not significantly different between the groups (p = 0.15), but duration B (p < 0.001) and total duration (p < 0.001) were significantly different between the non-dysphagic and sarcopenic dysphagic groups. The mean (p = 0.014) and maximum (p < 0.001) amplitudes were significantly different between the groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.94 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.87– 0.98) for duration B, 0.95 (95% CI 0.89– 0.99) for total duration, 0.76 (95% CI 0.63– 0.87) for maximum amplitude, and 0.61 (95% CI 0.47– 0.75) for mean amplitude. The AUC of the total duration was significantly greater than that of lingual pressure (p = 0.02).Conclusion: Patients with sarcopenic dysphagia had longer submental muscle activity duration and higher amplitude during swallowing as assessed using sEMG. The findings of this study can be useful in elucidating the underlying pathophysiology of sarcopenic dysphagia and in diagnosing sarcopenic dysphagia.Keywords: sarcopenia, deglutition disorders, electromyography, pharyngeal musclesSakai KNakayama ERogus-Pulia NTakehisa TTakehisa YUrayama KYTakahashi ODove Medical Pressarticlesarcopeniadeglutition disorderselectromyographypharyngeal musclesGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 15, Pp 1991-1999 (2020)
