Methods This cross-sectional utilized National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). were assessed by measurements questionnaires. The was investigated logistic regression models adjusting demographic characteristics, systemic diseases, diseases nose pharynx. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) presented. Results Participants complete olfactory questionnaires ( n = 2,582) included. Using whole-mouth measurements, anosmia increased hypogeusia ageusia after confounding factors. Similarly, revealed that However, hyposmia decreased tongue-tip taste measurement. Conclusion findings highlighted closely associated nationally representative sample adults.
