Sense of smell declines with advancing age, a loss of capacity already correlated with broader neurodegeneration and progression towards cognitive impairment and dementia. Here, researchers correlate the loss of sense of small with numerous other aspects of aging, as well as type 2 diabetes, a condition associated with a greater risk of age-related disease and mortality because most diabetics are significantly overweight.
