Materials and methodsA total of 197 patients suffering from olfactory disturbance (84 men and 113 women, 54±17 years old, 12–85 years old) were examined. The OSIT-J includes 13 kinds of odor items familiar to Japanese people (curry, gas for cooker, perfume, Japanese cypress, Indian ink, menthol, nattou/sweat socks, rose, putrid smell, wood, roasted garlic, condensed milk, Japanese orange)(Figure 1 A). The procedure for the OSIT-J has been described in previous reports (Saito et al., 2003). The patients choose an answer among four prepared odor names, one of which is correct, plus ‘detectable but not recognizable’and ‘odorless’. We calculate odor identification rate and diagnose their olfactory recognition ability.
