Taste sensitivity and threshold of Phenylthiourea (PTC) was determined in 800 individuals of Kashmir who form a distinct ethnic group. Correlation, if any, with age, sex, blood group, pH of Saliva, or smoking habits was investigated. The taste sensitivity of P.T.C. increased with advancing age. The percentage of non-tasters was more in blood group 'B' & 'O'. However, no correlation was observed as far as sex, pH of saliva and smoking habits were concerned.
对构成一个独特族群的800名克什米尔人测定了苯硫脲（PTC）的味觉敏感度和阈值。研究了其与年龄、性别、血型、唾液pH值或吸烟习惯之间的相关性（若存在的话）。PTC的味觉敏感度随年龄增长而增加。血型为“B”型和“O”型的人中，非尝味者的比例更高。然而，就性别、唾液pH值和吸烟习惯而言，未观察到相关性。
