Human taste sensitivity declines measurably with advancing age.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that human taste sensitivity declines measurably with advancing age?

Partly. Several peer-reviewed studies report that taste sensitivity declines with age, including a longitudinal study of old-old individuals and a 100-subject study noting a significant age effect. However, one cohort study of middle-aged and older adults found no age effect on taste sensitivity, so the evidence is mixed and covers only parts of the general claim.
