Glottic Characteristics and Voice Complaint in the Elderly
TLDR
Vocal fold bowing, prominence of vocal processes, and spindle-shaped glottic chink showed a strong correlation among each other, and the presence of presbylarynx was accompanied by less voice complaint than the Presence of vocal fold mucosa alterations, which in turn are more common where an absence of Presbylaryx exists.About:

Effects of Physiological Aging on Selected Acoustic Characteristics of Voice
TL;DR: The relationship between age-related changes in body physiology and certain acoustic characteristics of voice was studied in a sample of 48 men representing three chronological age groups (25, 35, and 60) as discussed by the authors.

Vocal fold physiology
TL;DR: The physiologic factors responsible for the production of phonation in humans are examined, based on the myoelastic-aerodynamic, body-cover, and mucosal wave theories, which regulate the vocal folds to produce pitch changes, intensity variation, and register effects.
