Association of gustatory dysfunction and Alzheimer's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CONCLUSIONS: Based on these studies, gustatory dysfunction diagnosed by gustatory function testing was closely related to AD. However, the results of subjective questionnaires were not significantly different between patients with AD and healthy controls in the current meta-analysis. As the number of studies and enrolled subjects was limited and unified gustatory function testing was lacking, further studies are needed to confirm this relationship.PMID:37943054 | DOI:10.4193/Rhin23.235
