Gustatory performance over time. Taste identification scores are shown for salty (a), sweet (b), sour (c), bitter (d), and the total taste score (e) before isolation (Pre, N = 19), during isolation (T1 = February, T2 = June, T3 = October, N = 19), and six months post-isolation (Post, n = 15). Data shown as boxplots: median (─), mean (+), interquartile range (box), minimum (⟘), and maximum (⟙). Significant differences (p < 0.05) are marked (*). Max scores: 4 per subtest, 16 total.
