Brief Summary

Urinary incontinence in the elderly and health-related quality of life due to urinary incontinence is a common problem in nursing homes. Another problem that occurs in elderly individuals is swallowing disorder. Swallowing disorders that occur with aging are called presbyphagia. Additional health problems such as impaired fluid intake balance, fetal incontinence and sarcopenia may occur after presbyphagia. However, the effect of presbyphagia on urinary incontinence is not known. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of presbyphagia on urinary incontinence and quality of life in healthy elderly individuals living in a nursing home.

This is a group of elderly people with swallowing disorders. Urinary incontinence and quality of life will be evaluated diagnostically.

Non-Presbyphagia Group

This group is an elderly group in which swallowing disorder is not detected. Urinary incontinence and quality of life will be evaluated diagnostically.
