[Voice health throughout the entire lifespan].

Voice is a vital tool for human communication, and its health spans across various stages of an individual's life cycle. This article discuss the importance of voice health from a lifecycle perspective, exploring the needs of voice, phonatory organ changes, the main etiologies and their incidence, the impact on social function, and treatment of voice disorders at different stages （childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and old age）. During childhood, due to incomplete vocal cords development and weak behavioral control, the incidence of voice disorders is high, which adversely affects children's psychological and social function development. The most common condition is vocal nodules, and there has been insufficient attention to the treatment of voice disorders in this stage. Voice disorders during adolescence are mainly related to physiological development and hormonal changes. In the elderly, the larynx undergoes structural and functional aging, which can be delayed with active intervention and treatment. Therefor, maintaining voice health should focus on preventing and managing voice problems throughout the entire life cycle, with targeted voice care and intervention at each stage. Establishing a comprehensive voice health management framework thereby upholds an individual's optimal health status and social function.
