The lyon clinical olfactory test: validation and measurement of hyposmia and anosmia in healthy and diseased populations.
; International audience; The LCOT is a self-administered test designed to assess olfactory deficits. Altogether, 525 subjects contributed to the validation. Elderly participants were well represented in this sample. In a validation study (study 1), 407 healthy and 17 anosmic volunteers between 15 and 91 years of age underwent threshold, supraliminal detection, and identification testing. Cutoff values for normosmia and hyposmia were calculated and applied in a second study in a group of patients with smell complaints and in a group of Alzheimer patients with age-matched controls.

The results showed that (i) unpleasant odors were assessed more rapidly than neutral or pleasant odors, and that this was s…
