Reply to comment by CrayonDelicacies in In a study using data from nearly 1,200 older adults, researchers have added to a growing body of evidence that loss of the sense of smell is a predictive marker for an increased risk of frailty as people age. by Wagamaga
I've got UARS and my sense of smell disappeared as I left my teen years.
Poor smell is also linked to sleep-breathing disorders, which tend to get worse over time. The damage you accumulate from SBD cause most of the worst issues you can have - stroke, heart failure, dementia, diabetes, and many more.
I wonder why the study concluded that frailty is determined by your nose, rather than both having a shared root cause elsewhere.
