What is body odor? Body odor spelled "body odour" outside the United States is unpleasant odor associated with the hair, feet, groin (upper medial thigh), anus, skin in general, armpits, genitals, pubic hair, belly button or ears (behind the ears). Some people call it BO or abbreviate it as B.O. It is also known as bromhidrosis (also called osmidrosis and ozochrotia). Other words are also used for body odor, including "Apocrine bromhidrosis", "Bromidrosis," "Fetid sweat," "Body smell," "Malodorous sweating," and "Osmidrosis. These words are all linked to the smell of bacteria growing on the body. These bacteria multiply rapidly in the presence of sweat, but sweat itself is almost completely odorless. Is body odor specific to individuals?
Body odor can smell pleasant and specific to the individual, and can be used to identify people, though this is more often done by dogs and other animals than by humans. An individual's body odor is also influenced by diet, gender, genetics, health and medication. Propionic acid (propanoic acid) is present in many sweat samples. This acid is a breakdown product of some amino acids by propionibacteria, which thrive in the ducts of adolescent and adult sebaceous glands. Because propionic acid is chemically similar to acetic acid with similar physical characteristics including odor, body odors may be identified as having a vinegar-like smell by certain persons. Isovaleric acid is the other source of body odor as a result of actions of the bacteria Staphylococcus epidermidis, which is also present in several strong cheese types.
Is body odor related to genes? A recent study suggests that body odor is genetically determined by a gene that also codes the type of earwax one has. East Asians (those of Chinese, Japanese and Korean descent) have the type of sweat glands which even after hitting puberty still don't produce the chemicals found in the sweats of other races. East Asians evidently have a greater chance of having the 'dry' earwax type and reduced axial sweating and odor. This may be due to adaptation to colder climates.
