  • Loss of Taste

    by Dr. Karen Leggett
    The sensations associated with taste are susceptible to changes with aging. These changes in taste may cause a change in your desire to eat. This in turn may affect your nutrition. Your taste sensations may disappear. Physicians call this ageusia. It is much less common than partial loss of taste called hypogeusia or a change in taste sensation called dysgeusia.
