“…Breathing and voice are closely related and, with aging, it is known that these functions can be impaired 21,22 . Some studies indicate that the decrease of lung capacity, between 20 and 80 years old, is around 40%; which may explain the drop in respiratory support for speech, leading to restriction of loudness and especially the reduction of maximum phonation times 14,22 .…”

Purposes: to verify the existing relationship between the slow vital capacity and maximum phonation time in the elderly. Methods: the study was analytical and observational, cross-sectional, conducted at the Open University Senior Citizens at the origin institution, in the period from June to October 2014, with 61 elderly female, nonsmokers. We excluded patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and / or respiratory diseases, individuals with neurological or hearing problems and voice professionals. All participants were assessed for slow vital capacity and maximum phonation time. The following data were also collected: gender, weight, height, age and body mass index. Results: the results showed that the values of slow vital capacity and maximum phonation time are reduced in the elderly. In addition, there is a positive correlation between the slow vital capacity and maximum phonation time of / s / and / z /. Conclusion: with aging, breathing and voice measures may be reduced. In addition, there is an association between the slow vital capacity and maximum phonation time in older women, suggesting the influence that breathing exercises over phonation in this specific population.

“…According to the literature, the age group between 25 and 45 years old is expected to have the best vocal efficiency, i.e., after this period a series of structural changes take place in the larynx that can impact voice quality 15 . In the sample studied, age ranged from 26 to 59 years and few subjects were above 45 years old, the point at which age-related voice changes may begin 4,16 .…”

OBJETIVO: verificar a associação entre o tempo de magistério e a autoavaliação vocal em professores universitários. MÉTODOS: participaram deste estudo 42 professores universitários, os quais responderam a um questionário para caracterização da amostra e identificação das sensações/sintomas vocais e ao Protocolo do Perfil e Participação e Atividades Vocais RESULTADOS: os participantes foram considerados jovens quanto ao tempo de magistério, pois a mediana foi de 8,5 anos, sendo que os autores não limitaram um número mínimo para participação na pesquisa, além disso, houve predomínio do gênero feminino na amostra estudada. Os sintomas vocais mais referidos pelos participantes foram sensação de secura na garganta (66,6%) e rouquidão (40,4%). A correlação entre o tempo de magistério com os domínios e o escore total do Protocolo do Perfil e Participação e Atividades Vocais não mostrou correlação significante. Os escores dos domínios: efeitos na comunicação diária (valor da correlação r= -0,08 e valor do p= 0,63), na comunicação social (valor da correlação r=-0,00 e valor do p=0,99), pontuação de restrição de participação (valor da correlação r= -0,20 e valor do p=-0,21) e o escore total (valor da correlação r= -0,01 e valor do p=-0,96) apresentaram correlação negativa, ou seja, inversas. CONCLUSÃO: embora a população estudada apresentasse queixas de sintomas vocais, isso não se reflete na limitação de suas atividades profissionais e atividades diárias. Portanto, neste estudo o tempo de uso profissional da voz ainda não compromete a qualidade de vida relacionada à voz referida pelos por professores.

“…(17) . Studies point to age-related diseases, among which the wearing of the laryngeal structure and functions may affect voice quality (1,2) . The prevalence of females in the study population (Table 1), despite being higher than the overall Brazilian population (18) , was already expected since it is known that women are the majority of the individuals in elderly care institutions (19,20) .…”
