What Causes Strong Smelling Urine In An Elderly Person?

I am curious...can age have an effect on urine odor? I m 63 and lately I have noticed strong smelling urine..I ve increased my fluid intake, I take no medications, physically fit, engage in regular exercise, and eat a healthy diet..i have always been healthy, no infections, and have had no sexual contact for over 8 years. I am not an alarmist, but I am curious..no doubt, it s a normal, aging thing
