This study investigated the use of the traditional Chinese version of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test and the Smell Threshold Test to assess olfactory function for healthy young and old adults in Taiwan. One hundred young adults (50 men; M = 24.34 yr., SD = 2.63; 50 women; M = 24.50 yr., SD = 2.96) and 49 old adults (20 men; M = 60.85 yr., SD = 4.21; 29 women; M = 59.93 yr., SD = 3.97) with normal olfaction completed the traditional Chinese versions of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test. Of these individuals, 40 young adults and 40 old adults also completed the Smell Threshold Test. The mean of the traditional Chinese versions of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test scores and Smell Threshold Test thresholds were significantly different between young and old adults. The threshold value for the Smell Threshold Test was lower in both young and old adults as compared to previously established American norms. Both tests require further modifications for clinical use in Taiwan.
本研究调查了使用繁体中文版的宾夕法尼亚大学嗅觉识别测试和嗅觉阈值测试，来评估台湾健康年轻人和老年人的嗅觉功能。一百名嗅觉正常的年轻人（50名男性；M = 24.34岁，标准差 = 2.63；50名女性；M = 24.50岁，标准差 = 2.96）和49名老年人（20名男性；M = 60.85岁，标准差 = 4.21；29名女性；M = 59.93岁，标准差 = 3.97）完成了繁体中文版的宾夕法尼亚大学嗅觉识别测试。在这些个体中，40名年轻人和40名老年人还完成了嗅觉阈值测试。年轻人和老年人在繁体中文版的宾夕法尼亚大学嗅觉识别测试分数和嗅觉阈值测试阈值的平均值上存在显著差异。与先前确立的美国标准相比，年轻人和老年人的嗅觉阈值测试阈值都更低。这两项测试在台湾的临床应用中都需要进一步修改。
