A lot of older people don't shower or bathe as often as young people because they're worried about slips and falls. I'm surprised that the article didn't consider that.
- jmull 7y agoTwo of the three studies defined "old" as people 40 or 41 and older, so frailty might not be a large factor. (Those two studies had different conclusions. The third study defined "old" as 75 and older, but found the most intense and unpleasant orders in middle-ages males, 45-55, so again, frailty doesn't seem likely to be a significant factor in terms of a strong or bad old smell.) Edit: also, I kinda doubt your assertion about the bathing habits of older people. I wonder what you base that on?
