Abstract

The salivary rate of flow and electrolyte content (Na, K, Ca, and Mg) were measured in a wide age range of human subjects (from 6 to 76 years old). The results indicate an increase in mean electrolyte content and a decrease in rate of flow of saliva with age. The results indicate a possible relationship between the salivary characteristics and the aging process.
