متن کاملInsulin secretion and insulin sensitivity on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in middle-aged Japanese.

متن کاملOdor identification and mortality in old age.
The association of olfactory dysfunction with mortality was examined in 1162 older persons without dementia or Parkinson's disease. They completed a standard 12-item test of odor identification and then were followed for a mean of 4.2 years (standard deviation [SD] = 2.6, range: 0-9) during which 321 individuals died (27.6%). The relation of olfactory score to risk of death was assessed in a se...
