AGE-RELATED CHANGES IN THE ANATOMICAL PARAMETERS OF THE PAROTID GLAND IN PERSONS OF DIFFERENT GENDERS
Abstract
The scientific literature lacks data on the anatomical parameters of the parotid gland associated with sexual and age variation.
The aim of the study was to study and compare the age-related anatomical parameters of the parotid gland in individuals of different genders.
Material and methods. A retrospective study of the database of computer and magnetic resonance tomograms of the heads of 92 men and 90 women was conducted. Among them, subgroups of young, middle, elderly and senile ages are distinguished. The vertical, sagittal and frontal linear dimensions were determined, as well as the volume of the parotid gland. The statistical analysis was carried out using the Kraskell-Wallis and Mann-Whitney methods.
The results of the study. In men, there is a decrease in the frontal size of the gland with age. As women age, there is a decrease in all linear sizes and volume of the gland. In the general group, there is a significant decrease in sagittal and vertical dimensions in elderly and senile patients in relation to young patients, as well as frontal size in the senile group compared with middle-aged people.
Conclusions. Involutive changes of the parotid gland are characterized by a decrease in the linear size and volume of the gland.
