Correlation between acoustic-perceptual data and voice-related quality of life in elderly women

CONCLUSIONS: although most of the elderly women presented some level of dysphonia, the vocal disorders did not have an influence on their life quality. However, the physical and total V-RQOL scores were correlated to dysphonia severity, indicating that the more sever the dysphonia, the lower the voice-related quality of life.
