Prevalence and risk factors of smell dysfunction - a comparison between five German population-based studies.

CONCLUSION: Four factors, well known to describe population composition, contribute to explain differences in the prevalence of olfactory function between studies when the same test system is used. Our results indicate that comorbidities and educational level should always be considered when test systems based on smell recognition are used in population-based studies.
