Abstract

An examination of taste and olfactometry in Yakumo-Cho inhabitants' examination carried out in 2005, and the result reported in Academia Journal of Medicinal Plants 2018. This study examined olfactory function. A personal function test is calculated from the Yakumo study database, and the odor stick identification tests administered to healthy older adults. The participants were community dwellers who voluntarily participated in the Yakumo Study and had managed everyday life by themselves. The participants were engaged in a variety of jobs, not only white-collar but also agriculture, fishery, and forestry. Therefore, the city regarded as a representative of today's Japanese society. From the database, 298 participants (169 females and 129 males) were selected form data in August, 2019. The Odor Stick Identification Test (OSIT-J) was used to assess odor perception. The aromas used in the OSIT-J include curry, perfume, Japanese cypress, India ink, menthol, rose, wood, Smelly socks/ sweat, fried garlic, condensed milk, gas for cooking, and Japanese mandarin aromas.
