Abstract
© 2019 Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate if there are differences in acoustic parameters between diabetic patients and normal controls. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was performed in 83 diabetic patients and 70 healthy controls. Voice parameters including fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer, amplitude perturbation quotient, noise-to-harmonic ratio, smoothed amplitude perturbation quotient, and relative average perturbation were analyzed using Computerized Speech Lab with the Multi-Dimensional Voice Program. Results: F0 in female diabetic patients was significantly lower than controls (222.23 ± 27.89 Hz versus 241.08 ± 28.21 Hz, P< 0.01). In female diabetic subgroups with disease duration more than 10 years, poor glycemic control, or neuropathy, the F0 was still significantly lower. Multivariate analysis showed that F0 was significantly associated with diabetes after controlled for age, body mass index, presence of hypertension, and dyslipidemia. (P= 0.022). However, F0 was not able to predict the presence of diabetes as shown by logistic regression analysis (P= 0.243). Conclusions: Voice fundamental frequency is lower in females with diabetes. However, voice fundamental frequency cannot adequately predict the presence of diabetes.
