AB - Purpose Dysphagia is known to be a disorder of the swallowing function, and is a growing health problem in aging popula- tions. Swallowing screening tests have mostly been studied in comorbidities such as stroke associated with old age. There is no simple, quick and easy screening test to best determine the risk of oropharyngeal dysphagia in geriatric guidelines. We aimed to evaluate whether the Gugging Swallowing Screen (GUSS) test is an effective method for evaluating swallowing difficulty in healthy older people. Methods This cross-sectional and multicenter study was conducted at 13 hospitals between September 2017 and February 2019. The study included 1163 participants aged ≥65 years and who had no secondary dysphagia. Reliability was evaluated for data quality, scaling assumptions, acceptability, reliability, and validity as well as cutoff points, specificity and sensitivity. * Ebru Umay Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ankara ebruumay@gmail.com Training and Research Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Ankara, Turkey Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic, Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ankara Diskapi Yildirim Beyazit Training and Research Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey Hospital, University of Health Sciences, Altindag, Ankara, Turkey Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Gaziantep University, Gaziantep, Turkey Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul,
