Normative Data for the 12-Item Sniffin' Sticks Odor Identification Test in Older Adults

CONCLUSIONS: Our study provides SSOIT-12 normative data obtained from a large population of White and Black older adults without preclinical or clinical dementia or sinonasal disease living in the USA. These findings can aid clinicians in assessing the degree of olfactory loss, establishing concordance with a person's perception of olfactory difficulties and quantitatively monitoring changes in olfactory performance over time.PMID:37883325 | DOI:10.1093/arclin/acad080
