本研究的目的是探讨年龄、性别、认知能力和人格风格对气味识别的影响。来自瑞典收养/双胞胎衰老研究的参与者（N = 532）年龄在45-87岁之间，使用瑞典版的国家地理嗅觉调查进行评估。嗅觉信息的检测和识别都随着年龄的增长而受损。性别对检测或鉴定没有影响。层次回归显示，即使考虑到实际年龄、性别、教育程度和整体认知功能的个体差异，语义记忆、强度感知和个性风格（即神经质、冲动和缺乏自信）的熟练程度也是成功识别气味的有效预测因素。
The aim of this study was to examine the influences of age, gender, cognitive abilities, and personality styles on odor identification. Participants (N = 532) aged 45-87 years from the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging were assessed with a Swedish version of the National Geographic Smell Survey. Both detection and identification of olfactory information were impaired with age. Gender had no effect on detection or identification. Hierarchical regressions revealed that proficiency in semantic memory, intensity perception, and personality style (i.e., neuroticism, impulsivity, and lack of assertiveness) were potent predictors for successful odor identification, even when individual variations in chronological age, sex, education, and global cognitive functioning were taken into account.
