Recent research reveals that losing the senses of smell and hearing can indicate severe health issues. Studies from the Karolinska Institute and UK suggest individuals with impaired smell are notably at greater mortality risk, particularly from neurodegenerative diseases. Furthermore, diminished hearing correlates with elevated heart failure risk, primarily influenced by psychological stressors. Experts advocate for routine screenings to gauge olfactory and auditory health, stressing their impact on overall well-being and disease prevention.
"Your sense of smell is not only your smell and taste; it's your memory and your perception and knowing about your environment around you."
"These findings suggest that hearing health and psychological well-being should be considered in cardiovascular risk assessment and prevention strategies."
