Our aim was to determine in the elderly the temporal and dimensional characteristics of deglutitive UES opening; anterior and superior hyoid and laryngeal excursions as measures of distracting forces imparted on the UES; and hypopharyngeal intrabolus pressure (IBP). Fourteen healthy elderly and 14 healthy young volunteers were studied by concurrent videofluoroscopy and hypopharyngeal manometry during swallowing of 5- and 10-mL barium boluses. The anteroposterior UES diameter, as well as the anterior hyoid bone and laryngeal excursion, was significantly smaller in the elderly compared to the young (p &lt; .05) for 5-mL barium boluses, but not for 10-mL boluses. The lateral diameter of UES opening was similar between groups for all boluses. The IBP for 5- and 10-mL swallows in the elderly was significantly higher than that in the young (p &lt; .05). We conclude that anteroposterior deglutitive UES opening and hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage anterior excursion are reduced in the elderly. These changes are associated with increased IBP, suggesting a higher pharyngeal outflow resistance in the elderly compared to the young.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/000348949910801010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,3]],"date-time":"2014-10-03T14:38:05Z","timestamp":1412347085000},"page":"982-989","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":67,"title":["Comparison of Upper Esophageal Sphincter Opening in Healthy Asymptomatic Young and Elderly Volunteers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Mark","family":"Kern","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Candy","family":"Hofmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eytan","family":"Bardan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tel Hashomer, Israel"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junlong","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ronald","family":"Arndorfer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Reza","family":"Shaker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Milwaukee, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1999,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-000348949910801010","first-page":"G427","volume":"264","author":"Shaker R","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"bibr2-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"G389","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpcell.1995.268.2.C389","volume":"268","author":"Shaw DW","year":"1995","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"bibr3-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(78)90288-3"},{"key":"bibr4-000348949910801010","first-page":"G748","volume":"257","author":"Cook IJ","year":"1989","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"bibr5-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/ajr.154.5.2108569"},{"key":"bibr6-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00004424-198605000-00009"},{"key":"bibr7-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0025-7125(16)31467-5"},{"key":"bibr8-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(89)90391-0"},{"key":"bibr9-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0016-5085(88)90290-9"},{"key":"bibr10-000348949910801010","first-page":"225","volume":"37","author":"Lund WS","year":"1965","journal-title":"Ann R Coll Surg Engl"},{"key":"bibr11-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1288\/00005537-192704000-00001"},{"key":"bibr12-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1152\/jappl.1960.15.2.283"},{"key":"bibr13-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF00301915"},{"key":"bibr14-000348949910801010","volume-title":"Evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders","author":"Logemann J","year":"1993"},{"key":"bibr15-000348949910801010","first-page":"G1518","volume":"272","author":"Shaker R","year":"1997","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"},{"key":"bibr16-000348949910801010","first-page":"A757","volume":"112","author":"Jurell KC","year":"1997","journal-title":"Gastroenterology"},{"key":"bibr17-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02407397"},{"key":"bibr18-000348949910801010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02493487"},{"key":"bibr19-000348949910801010","first-page":"G407","volume":"264","author":"Ren J","year":"1993","journal-title":"Am J Physiol"}],"container-title":["Annals of Otology, Rhinology &amp; Laryngology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949910801010","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/000348949910801010","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,28]],"date-time":"2026-04-28T11:17:23Z","timestamp":1777375043000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/000348949910801010"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1999,10]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"10","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1999,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/000348949910801010"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/000348949910801010","relation":{},"ISSN":["0003-4894","1943-572X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0003-4894","type":"print"},{"value":"1943-572X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1999,10]]}}}
