Sarcopenia is the loss of strength and muscle mass, which causes weakness at the musculoskeletal level. This can be caused by factors such as age, sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, and diseases of a higher range expressed in acute and chronic inflammation and neuromuscular diseases, which most affect this population. The present research study aims to identify sarcopenic dysphagia present in older adults. A cross-sectional qualitative approach was used, applying the EAT-10 questionnaire, the volume-viscosity clinical examination method, and manual grip strength tests. The research was carried out in two institutions for adults in Tungurahua, Ambato. Sixty-two participants aged 65–90 were included, excluding those with hearing impairment, dementia, and those who did not understand verbal commands. The investigation outcomes revealed a high rate of sarcopenic dysphagia. Most participants did not report significant issues on the EAT-10 questionnaire. However, the volume-viscosity clinical examination revealed that 46 older adults showed clear signs of swallowing inefficiency and potential danger. Notably, 49 participants were classified as having low grip strength, a key indicator of sarcopenia, with 19 men and 30 women affected. These findings suggest a high prevalence of sarcopenic dysphagia among institutionalized older adults. While the EAT-10 questionnaire did not highlight substantial swallowing problems, the clinical assessment contradicted this, revealing underlying difficulties. Moreover, a strong correlation was identified between dysphagia and sarcopenia, as evidenced by the widespread occurrence of low grip strength among participants.
