Some people just have a fixation with foam. It is not clinically useful.

Yes I've read your hypothesis in the past about the stream hitting the
bowl and similar nonsense. Nor is concentration per se of any import.
The big thing you're overlooking is that people are questioning
because there has been a change in their body's processes. If it had
anything to do with the stream hitting the bowl or concentration
(presumably higher yellow color) that would happen to them as
teenagers too. It doesn't generally speaking. It has something to do
with age but presumably age is a marker for some reduction in
performance of part of the urinary process. What? How? Why?

There is no evidence out there to support your claims. It is not an age
related change.

The evidence of age is myself, eh (no better than that <g>). Has age
been studied in relation to foam in urine? I don't see any Medline
extracts. Even if you don't agree with my hypothesis of age, you'll
have difficulty not associating foam with change. IOW the reason
people ask (presumably you don't deny that people ask) is because they
didn't have foam before. By definition that must indicate the effusion
of time hence age! OK, I'm being pedantic. I think it's age related.

There is no urological book out there that mentions foam much less
states it is an age related property.

You've read all, have you? Please don't make sweeping statements that
you can't justify. However, intuitively I'd wager you're probably
right. That's the thrust of my complaints about the urologists.

There are no age adjusted
parameters in urinalysis.

Thanks for that useless piece of information.

Here is something more to your speed and you probably read it already.
It will answer the questions in a style you are more familiar with.

Here is a quote.

"The urine of females, when shaken, usually develops a circular foam on
top. If urine samples of a male and a female are mixed together, a
network of filaments forms almost immediately, which is also true of
urine specimens taken immediately after intercourse."

Looks like a crank website. When they start talking about body
"humors" I tune out.

None of the statements on the URL page or your quote are supported by
any sort of peer-reviewed studies. While I might accept some
non-contentious remarks from an authority (like one of the standard
textbooks), the "facts" in the quote above ("filaments"?) would have
to be heavily supported. IOW I think they're crap.
