Study proves ?old person smell? is real.

[Northerner]

It?s a common stereotype that old people have a ? unique ? smell. According to this study, it?s a stereotype for a reason. The researchers first had young participants smell the body odors (collected as described below) of young, middle-aged, and old people. They then asked the participants to rate the odors and tested how well they were able to distinguish between them. Somewhat surprisingly, the participants rated the old-age odors as ?less intense and less unpleasant? than the young- and middle-age body odors; however, the participants also had an easier time specifically identifying the old-person odors compared to the other two categories.
