Development and validation of the four‐item Concise Aging adults Smell Test to screen for olfactory dysfunction in older adults
The 4-CAST is a quick screening instrument for predicting OD in older adults and has similar performance characteristics in independent populations using the two most common validated olfactory tests. Given the high prevalence of unrecognized olfactory loss in this population, this can be a useful tool for practitioners to determine which subjects may benefit from more extensive olfactory testing.
