Abstract

The production of stimulated parotid saliva was examined in 208 adults, aged 23-88 yr. Among men and women, taking no prescription medication, there was no diminution of stimulated parotid fluid output with increased age. Of subjects taking medication, post-menopausal women (but not older men) produced stimulated saliva at rates significantly lower than their non-medicated counterparts.
