Abstract

Purpose: To verify the association between sociodemographic factors, vocal behavior, morbidities, and self-perception of voice, hearing, and general health in older women with voice disorders.

Methods: The sample had 95 older women aged 60 to 84 years (mean of 69,5). They were interviewed with a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects, health, and vocal behavior. The Screening Protocol for Voice Disorders in Older Adults (RAVI) was used to identify the presence of voice disorders.

Results: Participants who had finished high school and were retired predominated. The number of older women with voice disorders according to RAVI was 46.3%. Physical sensations such as dry throat, throat clearing, and itchy throat were the most common complaints. The group of older women with voice disorders had worse self-perception of voice quality, hearing, and general health and a higher frequency of upper airway infections than those without voice disorders (p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusion: The vocal self-assessment measured with RAVI was statistically associated with self-perception of voice quality, hearing, general health, sore throat, sinusitis, and respiratory allergies.

在筛查老年妇女嗓音变化时对嗓音、听力和总体健康状况的自我认知。

目的：验证患有嗓音疾病的老年妇女的社会人口学因素、发声行为、疾病以及对嗓音、听力和总体健康的自我感觉之间的关联：抽样调查了 95 名 60 至 84 岁的老年妇女（平均 69.5 岁）。她们接受了关于社会人口学、健康和发声行为的结构化问卷调查。采用老年人嗓音障碍筛查方案（RAVI）来确定是否存在嗓音障碍：结果：参与者以高中毕业和退休者居多。根据 RAVI，有嗓音障碍的老年妇女占 46.3%。咽干、清嗓和咽痒等身体感觉是最常见的主诉。与无嗓音障碍的老年妇女相比，有嗓音障碍的老年妇女在嗓音质量、听力和总体健康方面的自我感觉更差，上呼吸道感染的频率更高（P ≤ 0.05）：结论：用 RAVI 测量的嗓音自我评估与嗓音质量、听力、一般健康状况、咽喉痛、鼻窦炎和呼吸道过敏的自我感觉有统计学关联。
