Presbylarynx and Laryngeal Asymmetry: Unreliable Predictors of Dysphonia in Older Adults
MedXY Editorial Team
Highlight
Presbylarynx and laryngeal asymmetry increase with age but do not correlate with patient-reported voice complaints in adults aged 65 and older. Despite common videostroboscopic findings like vocal fold bowing and phase asymmetry, these features alone are insufficient to predict dysphonia. Pathological presbyphonia remains diagnostically challenging due to lack of clearly distinguishing laryngeal features.
