The relation between age and taste threshold in populations living both in Istanbul and Resadiye, a town located in eastern part of Turkey, was investigated. In Turkey the nontaster/taster ratio has been found lower than in the other countries of Europe and Asia (3 ,4 ,8 ,9). With aging the taste sensitivity of tasters does diminish. However, the differences in the taste threshold levels of nontasters, in different age groups, have been found as being statistically not significant.
研究了居住在伊斯坦布尔和位于土耳其东部的雷斯阿迪耶镇的人群中年龄与味觉阈值之间的关系。在土耳其，已发现非味觉者/味觉者的比例低于欧洲和亚洲的其他国家（3、4、8、9）。随着年龄增长，味觉者的味觉敏感性确实会下降。然而，已发现不同年龄组的非味觉者在味觉阈值水平上的差异在统计学上不显著。
