Why do old people smell of cabbage?

Is it because their soul is trying to leave their body before they die?

Wait a minute. There's something unusual about the subway seat you just claimed. It's awfully warm, and a peculiar odor seems to hover in the air nearby—a stale, musty odor tinged with something as acrid as mothballs. You know this aroma: it's "old person smell."

the unique scent of the elderly lingers wherever they live and in any confined spaces they have recently occupied, such as taxis and elevators. Many different cultures have recognized the phenomenon—the Japanese even have a word for it, kareishuu

No. It's because people weren't always raised to shower every day and purge all the natural scents from their bodies.

Probably just a bit of body odour, which yes, may smell different at different ages. Lets get a whiff of you in forty years and analyse what substances are most comparable to your body odour.
