摘要

老年性嗓音是由机体各系统功能衰退导致的嗓音老化现象。在老年群体语音障碍中，老年性嗓音比例高达17.78%，显著影响老年人的社会参与、沟通效率及心理健康。其临床特征呈现多维度变化，生理层面可见声带萎缩、弯曲等导致的声门闭合不全；声学层面可见F

性别差异缩小，基频微扰（jitter）、标准化噪声能量（normalized noise energy， NNE）升高，谐波噪声比（harmonics-to-noise ratio， HNR）降低；空气动力学层面呈现最长声时（maximum phonation time， MPT）缩短、平均气流率（mean flow rate， MFR）增加，呼吸功能下降；嗓音主观感知表现出粗糙声、气息声等特征；患者自我评估多反映其生活质量下降。目前，临床评估多依赖单一维度，忽视了老年性嗓音的多维特征，易导致误诊、错诊等，难以有效指导临床干预。干预措施主要包括传统嗓音训练、娱乐性干预、手术治疗3类。然而，由于老年人依从性差、护嗓意识薄弱，加之老龄化社会加速到来，以及新一代老年人对嗓音和生活质量要求提高，现有的治疗手段难以满足当代老年人的治疗需求，亟需探究高效的评估以及治疗体系。未来应提升全民老年性嗓音保健意识，探究嗓音退化的规律，整合老年性嗓音的多维特征，建立多维评估模型，以划分嗓音老化的严重程度，建立数字化3级预防体系，提高其依从性，优化老年嗓音健康管理。

Abstract

Presbyphonia is a voice aging phenomenon resulting from the functional decline of various physiological systems.It accounts for up to 17.78% of voice disorders in the elderly population

significantly affecting their social participation

communication efficiency

and mental health. The clinical characteristics of presbyphonia are multidimensional.Physiologically

it manifests as glottal insufficiency due to vocal fold atrophy and bowing. Acoustically

it is characterized by a reduced gender difference in fundamental frequency (F

)

increased jitter and normalized noise energy (NNE)

and a decreased harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR).Aerodynamically

it presents with reduced maximum phonation time (MPT)

increased mean flow rate (MFR)

and decreased respiratory function. Subjectively

perceptual features include roughness and breathiness

and patient self-assessments often reflect a reduced quality of life.Currently

clinical assessments largely reliy on a single dimension

neglecting the multidimensional nature of presbyphonia

which may lead to misdiagnosis and difficulty in guiding effective clinical intervention. Existing interventions mainly include traditional voice therapy

recreational interventions

and surgical treatment. However

due to poor compliance and low awareness of voice care amon

g the elderly

coupled with the accelerating aging of society and the increasing demands of the new generation of older adults for better voice and quality of life

current treatment options are insufficient to meet the growing needs. There is an urgent need to develop efficient assessment and treatment systems. Future efforts should focus on enhancing public awareness of presbyphonia care

investigating the patterns of vocal degeneration

integrating multidimensional features to establish a comprehensive assessment model for grading the severity of voice aging

and developing a digitalized three-tier prevention system to improve compliance and optimize geriatric voice health management.
