abstract = {Taste and smell function decline with age, with robust
impairment in the very old. Much less is known about taste
and smell function in young and middle aged. We investigated
taste and smell sensitivity via thresholds in a sub-sample
of the NutriAct Family Study (NFS), the NFS Examinations
cohort (NFSE; N = 251, age M = 62.5 years). We examined
different aspects relating to taste and smell function: the
degree to which taste and smell sensitivity relate to
another and to taste and smell preferences, the role of
gender and age, as well as effects on Quality of Life (QoL).
Taste thresholds were highly correlated, but no correlation
was observed between taste and smell thresholds and between
thresholds and preference. Women were more sensitive for
both taste and smell than men. We found no effect of age on
sensitivity and no effect of sensitivity on QoL. All null
findings were complemented by Bayesian statistics. Together
our results indicate the independence of taste and smell
despite their overlap during sensorial experiences. We found
no evidence for age-related sensory decline, which could be
due to our sample’s characteristics of non-clinical
volunteers with good dental health and $93\%$ non-smokers.},
