Taste Thresholds: Quality Specific Variation with Human Aging
Abstract
Detection thresholds for each of the four basic taste qualities were obtained from 81 adults between 23 and 88 years of age. Sodium chloride thresholds show a small but significant increase with age, confirming the only previous observations derived from procedures that control for age-related changes in response criterion and salivary sodium. Quinine sulfate thresholds display a similar but weaker relation to age. Sucrose and citric acid thresholds are not significantly related to age. Citric acid alone shows a sex effect. Detection thresholds for the four taste qualities undergo different changes with age.

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.
