Abstract
Introduction
Singers are one of the groups of voice professionals with higher prevalence of vocal pathology due to their profession and lifestyle.
Method
Prospective ex post study was carried out to study the self-perception of vocal disability of 180 subjects (91 singers and 89 non-singers) using the Jacobson et al. (1998) Voice Handicap Index (VHI). The relationship of the test score and various risk factors has also been studied.
Results
Singers scored higher (21.49) than non-singers (17) on the VHI questionnaire. Regarding on sex, women reached higher scores (28.15) than men (12.33). Regarding on risk factors we have observed that smokers show significant higher scores (23.42) than non-smokers (15.30).
Conclusions
The subjects with more vocal use, in this case the singers, present higher scores on the VHI. That also occurs with women and smokers. These results are statistically significant only in the case of the variables smokes and sex.
引言歌手是嗓音专业人群中,由于他们的职业和生活方式,嗓音病理学患病率较高的群体之一。方法采用Jacobson et al.(1998)Voice Handiap Index(VHI),对180名受试者(91名歌手和89名非歌手)进行前瞻性研究。还研究了测试分数与各种风险因素的关系。结果歌手在VHI问卷中的得分(21.49)高于非歌手(17)。在性别方面,女性的得分(28.15)高于男性(12.33)。在风险因素方面,我们观察到吸烟者的得分(23.42)明显高于非吸烟者(15.30)。这种情况也发生在女性和吸烟者身上。这些结果只有在变量吸烟和性别的情况下才具有统计学意义。
