It is a hygiene thing. As U get older & Ur in this category U'll see that lack of active some don't bath everyday. Part of our smell or sent comes from what we eat & drink. If one is ill that could be part of the problem. 4 the most part it really comes down 2 their hygiene. Fixed income & they don't feel the need 2 bath everyday. My grand parents were like this. One was dying of cancer, U could smell it eating away at his body. Sorta of gross but that is life. Hope this helps or give U something 2 think about.

Well. . . . not ALL older people smell bad.
However, some older people don't bathe every day, and are not as diligent about their personal hygiene. I don't know if they are
just forgetful, or sometimes they have physical limitations that
makes it hard to do proper cleaning all the time. Like severe
arthritis and such.
