Anthropological and genetic studies reveal that body odor intensity varies significantly across global populations due to variations in the ABCC11 gene, which dictates apocrine sweat gland secretions. Statistical research demonstrates that individuals of European and African descent possess a high prevalence of the functional gene variant, resulting in greater underarm sweat secretions and stronger natural body odor. Conversely, over 80 to 90 percent of people of East Asian descent carry a non-functional gene mutation, resulting in minimal body odor.
