Dysphagia risk was assessed using the validated Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10), and QoL related to swallowing was measured with the SWAL-QoL survey. Correlations between EAT-10 and SWAL-QoL scores were analyzed. Additionally, the mean questionnaire scores were compared among patients classified as dysphagic, dysphagic with high aspiration risk, and nondysphagic.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The estimated prevalence of dysphagia in the cohort, based on EAT-10, was 52.4%. Higher scores were significantly correlated with poorer swallowing-related QoL, except for the sleep domain. The most affected SWAL-QoL domains were burden, eating desire, eating duration, food selection, communication, fear, mental health, social functioning, and dysphagia battery score (DBS), with significant differences observed among the classifications (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for most domains, and p\u2009=\u20090.015 for eating desire). No statistically significant difference in swallowing QoL was found between sitters and walkers.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Dysphagia is a prevalent symptom in patients with rare NMDs, affecting 52.4% of the cohort and significantly impacting QoL in nearly all domains except
