That claim isn’t accurate, and it mixes up unrelated things.
The small dimples on the lower back (Venus dimples) have nothing to do with smell, age, or hygiene. They are just a normal body feature caused by how skin connects to the pelvis.
🧠 About body odor in general
If someone has a strong smell, it’s usually due to factors like:
- Sweat + bacteria on skin
- Not bathing regularly
- Hormonal changes (which can happen with age)
- Diet, medications, or certain medical conditions
- Skin infections in some cases
Age alone doesn’t make someone “smell bad.” Hygiene, health, and environment matter much more.
⚠️ Key point
Linking a harmless anatomical feature to negative stereotypes about older women isn’t medically correct. Body features like dimples, wrinkles, or skin changes are not indicators of smell or cleanliness.
If you’re curious, I can explain what actually changes in body odor with age and how it works biologically.
