TLDR
The results suggest that the average, healthy elderly person's odor/trigeminal world differs from that of the young adult, and the relative contributions of olfactory, trigeminal, and cognitive factors in producing this change are explored.Citations

Normative data for the "Sniffin' Sticks" including tests of odor identification, odor discrimination, and olfactory thresholds: an upgrade based on a group of more than 3,000 subjects.
TL;DR: The present data suggest specific changes of individual olfactory functions in relation to age, with odor thresholds declining most dramatically compared to odor discrimination and odor identification.

TL;DR: Smell identification ability was measured in 1955 persons ranging in age from 5 to 99 years and on the average, women outperformed men at all ages, and nonsmokers outperformed smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taste and Smell Losses in Normal Aging and Disease
TL;DR: Losses of taste and smell are common in the elderly and result from normal aging, certain disease states (especially Alzheimer disease), medications, surgical interventions, and environmental exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Menthol and related cooling compounds.
TL;DR: The coolant action and carminative actions of menthol are discussed in terms of actions on calcium conductance in sensory nerves and smooth muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influences of age on olfaction: a review.
TL;DR: An overview of the anatomy and physiology of the aging olfactory system, how this system is clinically evaluated, and the multiple pathophysiological factors that are associated with its dysfunction are provided.
