Yes, taste buds can change as you age. The number of taste buds may decrease, which can affect your sense of taste. Age-related changes in taste perception can result in a decreased ability to taste certain flavors or a preference for stronger flavors.

As an individual ages, their senses become less sharp. The number of taste buds decrease as a person gets older. Sensitivity typically begins to decline after the age of seventy.

No. The number of taste buds a person has will decrease with age. This is why some people lose weight when they get old - because food doesn't taste as good as it used to.
