It is the food they eat. If you eat a lot of cooked food, your body stores most of it as toxins, in your joints and fatty tissue. As you get older, the toxic load really builds up. Also, the intestines get packed up with about 39 pounds of dead fecal matter, that just gets thicker and thicker. Couple that with a lack of exercise, and Voila, the smell of "Old People". It will happen to you, too. Unless of course, you start eating living food, like people used to, in the good old days. You can find out more on this at (living-foods.com). Getting old, is a matter of habits, not age.

The smell often associated with old people is caused by palmitoleic acid. It is the acid itself that causes the smell. Everyone's skin produces it, but it increases greatly with age. A person in their 70s produces 10 times more than a person in their 40s. Some people have it worse than others.
