Dementia deteriorates individuals' ability to eat and swallow food. This disorder leads to weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration. In addition, this neurological condition is a leading cause of death for individuals with dementia. The purpose of this study was to describe the characteristics of dysphagia interventions across types of dementia. Alzheimer's dementia has been found to require a more considerable amount of sensory stimulation than healthy older adults due to problems with sensory stimulation acceptance. In the case of vascular dementia, the movement of structures in the brain related to swallowing is significantly reduced. Lewy body dementia is associated with Parkinson's disease. These brain impairments frequently result in eating and swallowing problems. Behavioral problems are more common than swallowing problems in frontotemporal lobe dementia. Typically, cognitive problems make it difficult to evaluate and establish intervention plans for patients with dementia due to impaired communication skills. Considering this, it is crucial to select and implement simple methods that can be quickly followed by patients. Also, it is necessary to observe swallowing disorders as well as behavioral problems in this patient group and provide appropriate training for each stage to improve residual swallowing function.
