The changes in the male voice in relation to the biological characteristics of puberty were assessed longitudinally in 26 boys. Speaking and singing fundamental frequencies were analysed in relation to the Tanner staging of puberty, saliva testosterone levels, and the Cooksey classification of voice analysis. There were abrupt changes in voice characteristics between Tanner stages G3 and G4 and more gradually from stages C3 to C5 of Cooksey. Although testosterone concentrations were not predictive of the changes, there was a correlation with testis volume. Voice fundamental frequencies were seen to change abruptly in late puberty, in contrast with previous studies. There is a good correlation between the Tanner and Cooksey methods of classification during male puberty.
对26名男孩的男性嗓音与青春期生物学特征相关的变化进行了纵向评估。根据青春期的坦纳分期、唾液睾酮水平以及库克西嗓音分析分类,对说话和唱歌的基频进行了分析。坦纳分期G3和G4之间嗓音特征有突然变化,而库克西分期从C3到C5则变化更为渐进。虽然睾酮浓度不能预测这些变化,但与睾丸体积存在相关性。与之前的研究相反,在青春期后期嗓音基频出现突然变化。男性青春期期间坦纳和库克西分类方法之间存在良好的相关性。
