Problems with Smell
About Problems with Smell
Problems with smell become more common as people get older. Roughly
24.5 percent (15 million) of Americans 55 years old or older have a
smell problem. Thirty percent of older Americans between the ages
of 70 and 80 have a problem with their sense of smell. Nearly two
out of three people over 80 have a problem with their sense of
smell. A person's sense of smell generally declines when he or she
is over 60. Only about one to two percent of people under the age
of 65 will experience some problem with their sense of smell. Women
of all ages are generally better at detecting odors than men.
