When spontaneous swallowing (SSF), an innate protective mechanism, is impaired, aspiration prevalence and the risk of pneumonia are increased, especially in individuals with dysphagia. Data on SSF change and its significance in Parkinson’s disease are unknown. This study compared SSF rates in a cohort of early PD patients to age and gender-matched healthy controls.
