^aData are presented as means ± SD or frequency
^b Between-group differences were tested with one-way ANOVA
^c Eating problems included difficulty in chewing, dysphagia, nausea, and vomiting. Each difficulty was scored as 1 in case of presence and 0 in case of absence, and the sum of the scores was calculated
