Is it normal to sweat less as you get older?

Depends.It depends

You may sweat less with age, but a big or sudden drop isn’t something to automatically chalk up to getting older. Some medicines and health conditions can also reduce sweating.

Sweating can become less effective as you age, so a gradual change can happen. But people vary, and medications, dehydration, and some health conditions can also affect how much you sweat.

If you’ve suddenly started sweating much less, or you feel overheated because you can’t cool down, it’s worth checking with a healthcare professional. Take extra care in hot weather, since sweating is one of your body’s main ways to cool itself.
