Randomized trial examines dysphonia predictors in individuals over 65, highlighting diagnostic complexities.

This research aims to link presbylarynx and laryngeal asymmetry with dysphonia in aging individuals.
Evaluated 200 patients aged 65 and over using videostroboscopy for presbylarynx and laryngeal asymmetry.
Classified patients into two groups based on voice complaints: 100 with dysphonia and 100 without.
Measured variables included age, gender, BMI, and VHI-10 scores.
No distinct videostroboscopic features differentiated dysphonic from non-dysphonic patients.
Dysphonia patients had a higher median VHI-10 score (13) compared to non-dysphonia group (2).
Findings of presbylarynx were associated with gender and age, but not with dysphonia.

Crawley et al. (2026) studied this question.
