About Problems with Smell

More Common With Age

Each year, more than 200,000 people visit a doctor for chemical sensing problems such as smell disorders. Many more smell disorders go unreported. Problems with smell become more common as people get older. A person's sense of smell generally declines when he or she is over 60. Women of all ages are generally better at detecting odors than men.
