Methodology: A bibliographic review work was carried out on diet in the different situations associated with dysphagia in the elderly. At the time of extracting the data to carry out the work, and use of the appropriate terminology, the DeCs and the Mesh were consulted, and in the data extraction phase, two screening phases were carried out following the Flow Diagram PRISMA, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria used to carry out the work. Results: The dietary guidelines aimed at improving the swallowing capacity of the elderly with dysphagia are aimed at achieving goals that allow, through variety, help, not pressure, the use of appetizing foods and constant support, improve the quality of life of patients.
