Key points
-Objective gustatory dysfunction did not correlate with subjective
gustatory symptoms.
-Age, sex (male), DM, and subjective and objective olfactory
dysfunctions were significant factors in objective gustatory dysfunction
in patients complaining of chemosensory discomfort.
-Among olfactory function test subsets, the threshold score of the
olfactory function test was significantly associated with objective
gustatory dysfunction in older patients.
