Like others have said it totally depends on the person but I see what you mean. The fact that 70’s long-been considered (in casual speech anyway) a good age to die doesn’t help with this erroneous idea that 70’s invariably a jolly old age. Some people might want to settle into the role of an elderly person as soon as they clock 65 or 70 (or might’ve just had to grow into it beyond personal choice due to health problems) but I wouldn’t call it inherently old. Just older.
