About

Ashwini Namasivayam-MacDonald is an Assistant Professor at McMaster University in Canada. Her research areas focus on dysphagia, particularly in relation to the social determinants of health and the challenges faced by caregivers of older adults with swallowing difficulties. Recent publications include explorations of the prevalence of self-reported swallowing issues in older populations and the impact of physical exercise on swallowing function, particularly in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases.
