Baseline_Poor masticatory function
The investigators will utilize a 14-food group questionnaire to evaluate the masticatory function of the participants. If participants select 'difficult to eat' as their response for four items, it indicates a decline in the masticatory function.

Baseline_Poor tongue-lip motor function
The investigators will assess the oral-diadochokinesis of the participants. Each participant will be instructed to repeat the syllables /pa/, /ta/, and /ka/ for a duration of 5 seconds. If the number of /pa/ syllables produced per second is below 6, it indicates a decline in tongue-lip motor function.

Baseline_Low tongue pressure
The investigators will employ the YBERMEDIC Tongue Depressor, a tongue pressure measuring instrument, to assess the maximum tongue pressure. Participants will be instructed to press a balloon attached to their tongue against the anterior palate for several seconds, repeating this process three times. If the maximum tongue pressure is below 30 kPa, it indicates a decline in tongue pressure.

Baseline_Low swallowing tongue pressure
The investigators will employ the YBERMEDIC Tongue Depressor, a tongue pressure measuring instrument, to assess the maximum swallowing tongue pressure. Participants will be instructed to swallow their saliva, repeating this process three times. If the maximum tongue pressure is below 15.46 kPa, it indicates a decline in swallowing tongue pressure.

Baseline_Dysphagia
The investigators will use the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) to evaluate participants' swallowing difficulties. The EAT-10 is a straightforward assessment consisting of 10 questions, each assigned a score ranging from 0 (none) to 4 (severe). If the EAT-10 score is 3 or higher, it indicates that participants may experience challenges in swallowing efficiently and safely

Baseline_Oral Health status
The Oral Health Assessment Tool (OHAT) is a clinical assessment tool designed for frail older individuals to self-evaluate their oral health status. It encompasses eight categories of oral health, including lips, tongue, gums and oral tissue, natural teeth, dentures, oral cleanliness, saliva secretion, and dental pain. Each category is assessed on a scale of 0 (healthy), 1 (changes), or 2 (unhealthy). The overall scores range from 0 to 16, with a higher OHAT score indicating poorer oral health.
