26 Year 2022 Global Journal of Medical Research Volume XXII Issue II Version I ( D ) L © 2022 Global Journals Comparison of Taste and Smell Test Results Before and After COVID-19 in Yakumo Residents Health Checkup Comparison between 2019 and 2022 Table 13 shows the results of comparing males' systolic blood pressure by age group. Although there was no statistically significant difference by age group, P<0.05 (P=0.045*) for all age groups. The results showed that the diastolic blood pressure in 2022 was statistically significantly lower than the diastolic blood pressure in 2019. Table 14 shows the results of a comparison of females' olfactory test results by age group. A statistically significant difference comes out in their seventies. In 2022, olfactory recognition was statistically significantly lower than in 2019 (P<0.05: P=0.024*). Comparing the results of the olfactory cognition test in 2022 and 2019, there was no statistically significant difference in each age group. However, as a result of the overall comparison, olfactory recognition was statistically significantly lower (P<0.01: P=0.001**) in 2022 than in 2019. Table 15 shows the results of a comparison of male olfactory test results by age group. A statistically significant difference comes out when he is in the 40s. In 2022, olfactory recognition was statistically significantly lower than in 2019 (P<0.05: P=0.014*). Comparing the results of the olfactory cognition test in 2022 and 2019, other were no statistically significant difference in each age group. However, as a result of the overall comparison, olfactory recognition was statistically significantly lower (P<0.01: P=0.005**) in 2022 than in 2019. 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test P=0.045* P=0.327 P=0.312 P=0.172 P=0.438 P=0.119 70s 80s Total P=0.090 P=0.648 P=0.669 P=0.343 P=0.346 P=0.286 40s 50s 60s Table 13　Diastolic Blood Pressure Comparison Results for 2019 and 2022 Participants　Male（129 in 2019, 142 in 2022） 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test P=0.001** P=0.024* P=0.789 P=0.130 P=0.432 P=0.006** 70s 80s Total P=0.257 P=0.072 P=0.512 P=0.044* P=0.170 P=0.284 40s 50s 60s 表14　Olfactory test results Comparison Results for 2019 and 2022 Participants　Female（169 in 2019, 202 in 2022） 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test 2019 2022 2019 2022 2019 2022 F-test unpaired-t test Mann-Whitney　test P=0.315 P=0.138 P=0.005* P=0.282 P=0.516 P=0.095 70s 80s Total P=0.568 P=0.014* P=0.971 P=0.229 P=0.281 P=0.049* 40s 50s 60s Table 15　Olfactory test results Comparison Results for 2019 and 2022 Participants　Male（129 in 2019, 142 in 2022）
