Mariline Santos,Susana Vaz Freitas,Pedro Lopes dos Santos,Isabel Carvalho,Miguel Bebiano Coutinho,Álvaro Silva,Cecília Almeida e Sousa +6 more
TLDR
A clear and significant improvement was visible in the endoscopic and self-assessment ratings after rehabilitation by isolated voice therapy, and despite possible anatomical and physiological aging changes in the phonatory system, age did not compromise the successful rate obtained by voice therapy.Abstract:
Objective:To use a multidimensional assessment to analyze potential influence of “aging” in the functional outcomes achieved by a group of patients with recent onset of unilateral vocal fold paraly...read more

TL;DR: Older adults have decreased sensation of dyspnea and diminished ventilatory response to hypoxia and hypercapnia, making them more vulnerable to ventilatories failure during high demand states (ie, heart failure, pneumonia, etc) and possible poor outcomes.
