Summary	Background: Dysphagia is one of the main cause of malnutrition and dehydration. Ten-item Eating Assessment tool (EAT-10) is a useful screening tool for dysphagia, but few studies showed the association with EAT-10 and Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) items in nursing home. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to show the association of EAT-10 with activities of daily living (ADL), health status and lifestyle factors among the nursing home residents in Japan. Methods: A total of 209 elderly were administered CGA questionnaire in the nursing home in Kyoto, Japan, in July 2019. 115 elderly were excluded because they were specified under the long-term care insurance system or independent elderly under 74 year old. Study population consisted of 94 elderly subjects aged 75 years and older. Using EAT-10 cut-off point value of 3, participants were divided into two group: dysphagia high risk group and dysphagia low risk group (EAT-10 scores of ≥3 and <3) and compared the characteristics of those groups. We evaluated association between EAT-10 and CGA items. Results: There was no significant difference in age between these groups. The elderly subjects with EAT-10≥3 were significantly higher score than those with Eat-10<3 in FSI (1.6 vs 0.9), FRI (5.8 vs 3.9), and GDS (5.5 vs 3.6) and significantly lower in self-rated health (54.1vs 67.6) respectively (p<0.05). Conclusion: The elderly with dysphagia has risk of frail, fall and depression and low self-rated health. Subjective symptom of dysphagia should be paid more attention to improve physical and mental care in nursing home.
