Old age

[Redway]

Seen a documentary the other day classifying old age as 50+. They did drill the point home about 7 times but I just thought it would be interesting to see what other people’s definition of senile/elderly is.

[Babayaro.]

Depends entirely on the individual tbh.

[Redway]

I just feel something important happens at 5-year intervals age-wise from 25 on so that’s why the poll options go up in 5-year waves.

[RileyH]

18

[Babayaro.]

BUT, I would class an old person as being around 60+

BUT, I would class and old person as being around 60+

I’d say so. And 50 to 60 = earliest senile period.

45’s bang on middle age.

[smudgie]

66 plus...that’s when most people can claim their pension now, depending on their date of birth.
Some people are old at 40 and some people are still young at 70:shrug:

[bots]

65 + as thats when you pick up a government pension.

I think old age a couple of hundred years ago would have been around 40 to 45, but not any more

[Marsh.]

Yeah when you draw your pension.

50 to me is middle-aged.

[JoshBB]

Like, 60-65 imo. Since a lot of people retire, or begin thinking about retiring around that age range.

[Mokka]

How ever old I am now... I feel it

[Cherie]

Yeah when you draw your pension.

50 to me is middle-aged.

Thats going to be 70 soon for state pen

[Crimson Dynamo]

having old parents and seeing plenty relations die I would say 75

mind you my mum is in her late 70s and still watches BB, uses her Alexa every day and does her own online shopping and still sells stuff on gumtree and goes shopping on her own etc


(ok she did call Aexa Eliza today and told me it wasnt working)


Old age at 60? lol - yer baws

[AnnieK]

My dad is 71 and as sprightly as a lot of 45 year olds....my mum died at 65 and that seems so young. I think it depends on the person, their outlook and health.

It does ( and 65 is very young to die, my condolences)

The ex's dad is 88 and still drives, plays golf every week and looks and acts about 60

His aunt lived to 102 and his mum to 98

And what about it? :oh:

[Crimson Dynamo]

This is not a good thread for neem who effectively became a pensioner this week


:worry:

[Babayaro.]

It's actually so weird that my Dad is 54. Time goes by far too quickly :worry:

60’s the youth of old age. Elderly’s applicable a certain point over age 75. In my opinion.

You better hold on tight my friend cause the next 20 years just whizz past...

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think the worst thing you can do is retire

people underestimate how much and how important a job is in life

you sit down

you stay down

[joeysteele]

To me age is just a number.

[Crimson Dynamo]

when you are 6 someone who is 23 is fecking Methuselah

[Cherie]

And what about it? :oh:

:hehe:

cher is younger than most 30 year olds so yeah, old age is subjective!

[Oliver_W]

I think roughly:
20-35ish = "adult but still young"
35-45/50ish = "adult"
50-60 = "middle aged"
65+ = "old"

edit: I know people seldom live to 100-120, but middle age is more a time of life/frame of mind than a literal midway point, and with life expectancy growing people in their fifties way well see 100

[Babayaro.]

And he wont believe that you are as old as you are

Definitely

[Elliot]

It so depends on the individual and your perception can depend on people of that age you have experience with so it’s just so subjective but I’d say from my experience it’s around 70. I’m honestly not scared of getting old the only thing I’m petrified of is death :x
