At What Age Does A Person Become Old? 

At what age does a person become old

If you imagine that people aged 55 to 60 years are considered elderly, then you are wrong. The common perception of aging is not right in the light of current research.

According to the American media, a current survey has shown that a 60-year-old person is not old anymore, but the general idea discovered in our society regarding determining the age of old age is not right.

According to this information, published in the journal Psychology and Aging of the American Psychological Association (APA), aging relies on the happiness and health of the person.

The conclusion of the aforementioned survey on aging is based on data from a German study including more than 14,000 participants who answered questions 8 times over 25 years.

Current surveys have described that the age at which a person is considered elderly is steadily increasing.

Researchers say that according to a current survey, people who have now come to the age of 60 believe that old age starts after 75, while according to a survey of the same people a decade ago, old age starts. It was happening from the age of 71.

This shift reflects, in part, increases in life expectancy, the age limit for retirement, and the ability to work better overall during our golden age, according to the study, published in the journal American Journal of Medicine.

The age at which people consider themselves old varies and changes depending on their gender, health, and general happiness.

According to the survey, women believe that aging starts later than men.

According to the survey, the age at which men consider someone old is about two years later than the age at which women consider old age.

Meanwhile, people who live alone or have health problems consider themselves to be old at a younger age than people who are happy and healthy.
