AB  - Background: Oral-motor performance for speech and swallowing, and verbal fluency repre-sent important domains that can determine frailty thresholds in older people. 
Objectives:  The   study  aims  to  explore  the  association  between  oral-motor  performance  and  verbal fluency to achieve a comprehensive measurement of the frailty phenotype.
Methods  and  Procedures: An  exploratory  and  inferential  cross-sectional  study  was  carried  out in two nursing homes and two day-care centers. The study comprised a sample of 95 individuals with a mean age of 83 years. TheOral-Diadochokinesis Test (ODDK), Water Swallow Test (WST), Time of Mastication and Swallowing (TOMASS), Maximum Tongue Pressure, Verbal Fluency, Physical Phenotype and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) were used as measurements variables. 
Results: The comparison of mean values between the performance of observed and normative values for the target population was shown to be statistically significant for all the measure-ments and between the pre-frail and frail.  
Conclusions: The results of this study add to the growing body of evidence that oral-motor function for speech and swallowing and verbal fluency are relevant to the diagnosis and man-agement  of  the  frailty  condition  in  older  people.  The  frailty  syndrome  is  more  than  just  the  traditionally observed physical function, rather it is a multidimensional construct, where addi-tional dimensions should be considered when evaluating frailty in clinical practice
