After multivariable risk-adjustment, a step-wise increase in complications was observed in the older age groups relative to the youngest in terms of in-hospital mortality (65-74 odds ratio [OR] 1.57, P = .04; ≥75 OR, 2.94, P = .001) and STS-COMP (65-74 OR, 1.57, P less then .001; ≥75 OR, 1.96, P less then .001). CONCLUSIONS Older patients experienced elevated rates of mortality and morbidity following aortic arch surgery. These results support a more measured approach when evaluating elderly patients. Further research is needed on age-dependent natural history of thoracic aneurysms and size thresholds for intervention. OBJECTIVE The interaction between muscle tension, posture, and vocal use is very complex as clinical research suggests that abnormal laryngeal posture can be associated with muscle adaptive changes, although specific evidence concerning body posture and voice disorders has been lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify if there were differences in posture, muscle tension and voice between teachers with and without voice complaints. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Twenty-four teachers, 6 males and 18 females, were submitted to photogrammetry, muscle tension assessed trough palpation and algometry assessment. Aerodynamic assessment of voice, acoustic and auditory-perceptual analysis of voice were done. Participants were divided into without voice complaints group (WVCG; n = 11) and voice complaints group (VCG; n = 13) based on Sociodemographic and Clinical Questionnaire completion. RESULTS For auditory-perceptual analysis, VCG showed a significant higher values on GRBASH subscales Grade (p less then 0.001) and Roughness (p = 0.011). The VCG showed statistically significant higher values on
