Disparities in Olfactory Dysfunction in African Americans
CONCLUSION: On both tests of olfaction, AA performed worse than Whites and a greater proportion of AA were considered hyposmic compared to Whites. This is a discrepancy with self-reported olfaction, which showed no difference between Whites and AA. AA performed significantly worse than their White counterparts on several scents, with possible implications regarding cultural appropriateness of scents used in olfactory testing.PMID:38235801 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231222693
