Among older adults, olfactory dysfunction is associated with cognitive impairment, lower quality of life, and increased mortality.

This study investigated how associations between odour identification (OI) and various risk factors, as well as cognition and language ability, differed or were similar in two distinct ethno-regional groups of older adults.
