Abstract

Purpose: The aging process of the voice differs among individuals, and the factors that affect age-related changes in voice are not well-defined. In this study, we investigated the difference between older people with nasal septum deviation (NSD) and older people without NSD in terms of degree of aging voice using objective and subjective voice assessment tools.

Methods: The study included 94 patients (47 women, 47 men) aged >65 years. Nasal septum deviation was determined in 45 patients (NSD group), and 49 patients had no nasal pathology (control group). Maximum phonation time (MPT), GRBAS scale, and acoustic voice analysis parameters were compared between the NSD and control groups; sub-group analysis disaggregated by sex was also performed.

Results: No significant difference was observed between the NSD and control groups with respect to MPT, GRBAS scale, and acoustic voice analysis parameters in the total study population and among male subjects. The only parameter that showed a significant difference between sub-groups of female subjects was soft phonation index (SPI) (p=.03).

Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyze the effect of NSD on the voice aging. With the findings of the present study, NSD does not seem to have an effect on voice aging, and also it can be suggested that septoplasty will not have an effect on preventing presbyphonia. Further studies on larger groups of patients are required to provide more definitive evidence on this subject.

鼻中隔偏曲对语音老化的影响。

目的:嗓音的衰老过程因人而异，影响嗓音年龄相关变化的因素并不明确。在本研究中，我们使用客观和主观的语音评估工具，研究了有鼻中隔偏曲(NSD)的老年人和无鼻中隔偏曲的老年人在语音老化程度上的差异。方法:纳入年龄>65岁的94例患者(女47例，男47例)。鼻中隔偏曲45例(NSD组)，无鼻部病变49例(对照组)。比较NSD组和对照组的最大发声时间(MPT)、GRBAS量表和声学语音分析参数;还进行了按性别分类的亚组分析。结果:NSD组与对照组的MPT、GRBAS量表、声音分析参数在研究总人群和男性受试者中均无显著差异。女性被试亚组间唯一有显著差异的参数是软发音指数(SPI) (p=.03)。结论:据我们所知，这是第一个分析NSD对语音老化影响的研究。根据本研究的结果，NSD似乎对声音老化没有影响，也可以表明鼻中隔成形术对预防老年性耳鸣没有影响。需要对更大的患者群体进行进一步的研究，以提供关于这一主题的更明确的证据。

期刊介绍： Logopedics Phoniatrics Vocology is an amalgamation of the former journals Scandinavian Journal of Logopedics & Phoniatrics and VOICE. The intention is to cover topics related to speech, language and voice pathology as well as normal voice function in its different aspects. The Journal covers a wide range of topics, including: Phonation and laryngeal physiology Speech and language development Voice disorders Clinical measurements of speech, language and voice Professional voice including singing Bilingualism Cleft lip and palate Dyslexia Fluency disorders Neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics Aphasia Motor speech disorders Voice rehabilitation of laryngectomees Augmentative and alternative communication Acoustics Dysphagia Publications may have the form of original articles, i.e. theoretical or methodological studies or empirical reports, of reviews of books and dissertations, as well as of short reports, of minor or ongoing studies or short notes, commenting on earlier published material. Submitted papers will be evaluated by referees with relevant expertise.
