研究了60名健康成人的口腔感觉（包括两点辨别、口腔立体感、振动触觉检测、躯体感觉敏感性、本体感觉和热敏感性），年龄分为5个类别：20至34岁、35至49岁、50至64岁、65至79岁和80岁及以上。热和躯体感觉敏感性以及本体感觉没有随着年龄的变化。在80岁以后，嘴唇上的触觉和振动觉的辨别能力下降（P<0.01），但软腭上的振动觉没有变化。立体认知能力一直保持良好，直到80岁，然后下降的9个形状测试（P<0.01）。两点辨别力在上唇（P<0.01）、脸颊（P<0.02）和下唇（P<0.06）恶化。舌头和上颚的两点辨别力没有改变。研究发现，随着年龄的增长，口腔感觉保持良好，仅在80岁后显示出轻微的功能下降。
Oral sensation (including two‐point discrimination, oral stereognosis, vibrotactile detection, somesthetic sensitivity, proprioception, and thermal sensitivity) was studied in 60 healthy adults in five age categories: 20 to 34, 35 to 49, 50 to 64, 65 to 79, and 80 years and above. Thermal and somesthetic sensitivity as well as proprioception did not change with age. Ability to differentiate tactile and vibratory sensation on the lip decreased after age 80 (P<.01), but vibration detection on the soft palate did not change. Stereognostic ability remained good up to age 80, and then declined for four of the nine shapes tested (P<.01). Two‐point discrimination deteriorated on the upper lip (P<.01), on the cheeks (P<.02), and on the lower lip (P<.06). Two‐point discrimination on the tongue and palate did not change. It was noted that oral sensation remained good with aging, showing only a slight decline in function after age 80.
