A elevada prevalência de transtorno mental nas professoras estudadas e sua associação independente com a pior qualidade de vida relacionada à voz no domínio sócio-emocional revelam as condições precárias de trabalho e indicam uma importante relação entre estresse, emoção e voz.…”

“…The comparison of results among prevalence studies on voice disorders is difficult due to the differences in either the definition or evaluation methods employed by the studies. In most epidemiological studies, the presence of a voice disorder has been defined by the presence of a number of vocal symptoms 2,3,5,6,11,14,17,25,26) . On the other hand, the prevalence of voice disorders is underestimated if the detection of vocal abnormalities is restricted to physical examination of the larynx 27) .…”
