A Study on Voice Measures in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease.
Objective: As Alzheimer's disease (AD) might provoke certain nerve disorders, patients with AD can acquire sensorimotor adaptation problems, and thus the acoustic characteristics of the speech they produce may differ from those of healthy subjects. This study aimed to (1) extract acoustic characteristics (relating to articulatory gestures) potentially useful for detecting AD and (2) examine whether these characteristics could help identify AD patients.
Methods: A total of 50 individuals participated in the study, including the AD group (17 cases), the Neurologically Healthy (NH) group (13 cases), the Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) group (11 cases), and the Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI) group (9 cases). Voice samples involving three vowels (/i/, /a/, and /u/) and six consonants (/p/, /pʰ/, /t/, /tʰ/, /k/, and /kʰ/) were collected using a digital recorder (TASCAM DR40X). Microphone-to-mouth distance was maintained at 30 cm. Acoustic measures included F0, jitter, shimmer, HNR, F1, F2, F3, and VOT.
Results: One-way ANOVA tests were carried out to compare the acoustic measures among the four groups. F3 of vowel /u/, F2 bandwidth of vowel /a/, VOT of consonant /t/, and male participants' F0 of three vowels (/a/, /i/, and /u/) were found significantly different, while no significant differences were found in the other measures.
Conclusion: Some acoustic characteristics can indeed help detect AD patients.
