Answer 1

Inability to swallow safely, which leads to aspiration pneumonia. Some just literally stop eating or drinking, which can still be attributed to swallowing difficulties, or their brain disease is so severe that they fail to recognise food/drinks or the need to consume them anymore. I work in dementia care, it’s a cruel disease.

Edit: “Disability” to “Inability”
