Vertigo, Smell and Taste
Captions available
The idea
Vertigo, dizziness or a sense of motion, affects about thirty percent of adults over sixty, often from calcium crystals displaced within the inner ear.
In practice
Smell and taste declining modestly, reducing pleasure in food and risking weight loss.
Where people slip
Sensitivity to pain, temperature and vibration declines too, while reports of chronic pain rise with arthritis.
