As time passes, the body changes in subtle ways that aren’t always easy to notice at first.

Many people over the age of 60 begin to sense a quiet shift in their relationships—fewer hugs, less physical closeness, fewer visits often without understanding why. In many cases, the reason has nothing to do with personality or behavior, but with a delicate topic that is rarely discussed openly: age-related body odor.

Addressing this subject isn’t disrespectful; it’s an act of care. Understanding what happens inside the body and learning how to respond early can greatly improve both quality of life and personal connections.
