BACKGROUND
Olfaction dysfunction is linked to neurodegenerative diseases, therefore the evaluation of this function is becoming important
AIM
To evaluate olfaction in healthy participants.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We evaluated 44 healthy males and 55 females, aged 21 to 89 years with the Sniffing Sticks battery to determine normal values in Chilean population. During the test, participants must correctly identify 12 different odors.
RESULTS
Normal olfaction, hyposmia and anosmia were defined. An age related decline in olfaction was observed, especially among males aged 59 years or more.
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides age and gender specific normal values for the Sniffing Sticks battery.
背景
嗅觉功能障碍与神经退行性疾病有关，因此对该功能的评估变得日益重要。
目的
评估健康参与者的嗅觉。
材料与方法
我们使用嗅觉棒测试组合对44名年龄在21至89岁之间的健康男性和55名健康女性进行了评估，以确定智利人群的正常值。在测试过程中，参与者必须正确识别12种不同的气味。
结果
定义了正常嗅觉、嗅觉减退和嗅觉丧失。观察到嗅觉与年龄相关的下降，尤其是在59岁及以上的男性中。
结论
本研究提供了嗅觉棒测试组合的年龄和性别特异性正常值。
