20% have a weaker sense of smell
It is estimated that one in five people in the general population has a weaker sense of smell. For people over 65, the percentage is 50%.
“The three main causes of olfactory dysfunction are upper respiratory tract infections, chronic rhinosinusitis, and traumatic brain injury,” explains Jordanis Konstantinidis, head of the Smell and Taste Clinic, Associate Professor at AUTH.
“The loss of smell may be associated with a tumor at the base of the skull, or it may be an early symptom of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease,” he adds.
He recalls that Covid-19 often has a loss of smell and taste as an early symptom, and even today, many people have problems with smell and taste long after the illness.
