To verify the correlation between vocal tract discomfort symptoms and perceived voice handicaps in gospel singers, analyzing possible differences according to gender.
100 gospel singers volunteered, 50 male and 50 female. All participants answered two questionnaires: Vocal Tract Discomfort (VTD) scale and the Modern Singing Handicap Index (MSHI) that investigates the vocal handicap perceived by singers, linking the results of both instruments (p<0.05).
Women presented more perceived handicaps and also more frequent and higher intensity vocal tract discomfort. Furthermore, the more frequent and intense the vocal tract symptoms, the higher the vocal handicap for singing.
Female gospel singers present higher frequency and intensity of vocal tract discomfort symptoms, as well as higher voice handicap for singing than male gospel singers. The higher the frequency and intensity of the laryngeal symptoms, the higher the vocal handicap will be.
验证福音歌手声道不适症状与感知到的嗓音障碍之间的相关性，并根据性别分析可能存在的差异。
100名福音歌手自愿参与，其中男性50名，女性50名。所有参与者均回答了两份问卷：声道不适（VTD）量表和现代歌唱障碍指数（MSHI），后者用于调查歌手感知到的嗓音障碍，将两份问卷的结果进行关联分析（p<0.05）。
女性感知到的障碍更多，声道不适也更频繁且强度更高。此外，声道症状越频繁、越强烈，歌唱嗓音障碍就越高。
与男性福音歌手相比，女性福音歌手声道不适症状的频率和强度更高，歌唱嗓音障碍也更高。喉部症状的频率和强度越高，嗓音障碍就越高。
