What is the cause of the common odor many senior citizens have (despite good hygiene)?

Bathe daily, wash your hair and behind your ears, use unscented products as much as possible, and sniff your clothes. Dead skin breeds dust mites, so keep things clean. Drops of urine tend to be absorbed by your knickers, then give off odors, so rinsing it off with water and drying off with a facecloth is better than blotting with toilet paper, also less irritating on your skin. Do that as much as possible. I learned that from the babies. Never got diaper rash if I washed them rather than just wiped them off. If you leak, deal with that too, and check your outer clothing for smells.
Oral hygiene is important too, and one of the worst smells, according to professional tasters, is stale saliva. So drink plenty of water, floss, brush, and blast out the food particles with a water pick. If you have dentures, keep them fresh.
Walk in the front door of a nursing home and you will gag. Combination of piss, scented cleaning products, years of dust, and poor ventilation.
Do women like watching men sucking men?
Omigosh, deal with this stuff as long as you can. If you don't smell it, others might, so make it a habit.
I am 78 and I sure hope I don't smell like an old lady. In my professional career I have encountered quite a few stinky people. It was either from unwashed bodies, hair, or clothes, or else stale perfume, or some combination thereof. Also, one loses one's sense of smell so it doesn't register with them.
Unwashed hair smells really gross. Take a sniff of an old brush. Yuck. Wash your hairbrush and combs too. And behind the ears. That is a source of oil that goes rancid. Launder the pillowcases.
