Self ‐perceived taste disturbance: a 20‐year prospective study of a Swedish 1942 birth cohort
ConclusionsThis study showed that PTD does not increase between 50 and 70 years of age in ordinary community‐living individuals. There were no long‐term impacts on PTD over time from socio‐economic factors, and over time, there were a limited number of factors contributing to the effect. Bad breath, blisters, burning mouth and self‐perceived health are important factors for the dentist to discuss with the patient in the case of PTD. (Source: Gerodontology)
