Abstract Older adults are disproportionately affected by swallowing impairment, or dysphagia, a condition that can lead to increased morbidity and death. Delayed initiation of swallowing is a common and devastating pathophysiology of neurogenic dysphagia, and also is experienced by healthy older adults, making functional swallowing less safe. It is still not known if differences in activation of the cortex (primary sensory motor region) are responsible for delays in swallowing initiation, or if it is the consequence of advancing age. The goals of this proposal are to understand the functional role of the primary sensory-motor cortex on swallowing initiation and to characterize the effect of aging on swallowing initiation with transient cortical disruption. The overall hypothesis is that transient disruption of the primary sensory-motor cortex will produce measurable delays in swallowing initiation in young and old adults, but older adults will have more pronounced deficits. This investigation will determine whether cortical areas are involved in initiating swallowing as well as the importance of timing on this function.

Abstract Background The interplay between age and symptoms intensity on antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been studied in a general population setting. Methods We explored the serologic profile of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies after the first wave of the pandemic, by assessing IgG against the spike protein (ELISA-S), IgG against the nucleocapsid protein (ELISA-NP) and neutralizing antibodies (SN) in 82,126 adults from a French population-based multi-cohort study. Results ELISA-S positivity was increased in 30- to 49-year-old adults (8.5%) compared to other age groups (5.6% in 20- to 29-year-olds, 2.8% in ≥ 50-year-olds). In the 3681 ELISA-S positive participants, ELISA-NP and SN positivity exhibited a U-shaped relationship with age, with a lower rate in 30- to 49-year-old adults, and was strongly associated with COVID-19-like symptoms. Conclusion Our study confirms the independent role of age and symptoms on the serologic profile of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies, but the non-linear relationship with age deserves further investigation.
