TI  - [Olfactory disturbance screening with the odor stick identification test (OSIT-J) 
      in executive checkups].
PG  - 586-91
AB  - The odor stick identification test for Japanese (OSIT-J) has been shown to be 
      useful for detecting and evaluating olfactory disturbances in Japanese people. We 
      studied the usefulness of OSIT-J in screening for olfactory disturbances in 83 
      Japanese participants (49 male, 34 female) participating in an executive checkup 
      at NTT West Kanazawa Hospital in Japan. The olfactory ability was self-reported 
      on a grade scale. Olfactory function was then evaluated with a three-odors OSIT-J 
      (rose, curry and sweaty socks). Participants with low self-reported olfactory 
      ability or less-than-full scores in the three-odor test were evaluated with an 
      additional 10 odors of OSIT-J. Eight or less points are considered to be lower 
      than average in the 13-odor test of OSIT-J (Saito S, et al.). Eleven of the 83 
      participants had low self-reported olfactory ability. Four participants with a 
      full score in the three odors test with low self-reported olfactory ability 
      scored more than eight points in the 13-odor test. Thirty-eight participants 
      scored less than three points in the three-odor test. Seven of 29 participants 
      with two points in the three-odor test scored eight or less in the 13-odor test. 
      In the 29 participants, subjects with low self-reported olfactory ability scored 
      significantly lower scores than those without a low self-reported olfactory 
      ability in the 13-odor test. The self-reported olfactory ability was not related 
      to the score in the 13-odor test in the nine participants with one point or less 
      in the three-odor test. Males scored significantly lower scores than females in 
      the three-odor test. However, gender was not significantly related to the rate of 
      olfactory disability estimated based on the 13-odor test. Use of a three-odor 
      OSIT-J along with a self-administered questionnaire pertaining to olfactory 
      disability is useful for olfactory disturbance screening during executive health 
      checkups.
