Tactile Sensitivity as a Function of Age
Abstract
To learn whether tactile sensitivity is decreased in elderly adults, we measured touch thresholds on the pad of the index finger in individuals aged 19 to 88 years. Semmes-Weinstein aesthesiometer filaments were used in a forced-choice procedure to eliminate response biases among subjects. Digit temperature and health data were also collected. Tactile thresholds increased significantly with age. A large proportion of elderly individuals had thresholds that were higher than the average for young adults, although older people varied widely in touch sensitivity. Neither reported illness nor medication use was significantly related in tactile threshold.

In the citing paper
“It has been widely demonstrated that tactile sensibility declines with age, as evidenced by increased sensory thresholds (Dyck et al. 1972;Gescheider et al. 1994;Thornbury and Mistretta 1981;Verrillo 1980) and decreased spatial acuity (Manning and Tremblay 2006;Stevens and Choo 1996;Stevens and Patterson 1995;Tremblay et al. 2003;Woodward 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
