    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Sensory Physiology
    • Oral Biology

    Background:

    • Age-related changes in sensory perception are common.
    • The palate, a crucial oral structure, may experience altered tactile sensitivity with aging.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between age and palatal tactile sensitivity.
    • To quantify the decline in palatal sensitivity across different age groups.

    Main Methods:

    • Palatal sensitivity to touch was assessed using air current stimuli.
    • The study included 100 participants with ages spanning from 20 to 89 years.

    Main Results:

    • A progressive decline in palatal sensitivity to touch was observed with increasing age.

  • Sensitivity reduction was evident across the age range studied.

    • Conclusions:

    • Palatal tactile sensitivity diminishes significantly as individuals age.
    • This finding has implications for understanding age-related changes in oral sensory function.
