What do you consider old age to be? What age do you think it occurs most frequently in?

55. That just seems to be the year.

80

75 I guess:confused:

Probably somewhere around 70 or 80.

70

i think it depends on the person. some people seem to be ancient at around 65 but my greataunt is 94 and still drives, jogs, and doesnt consider herself old.

I would say 70s...but it's not always true for everyone...

:wave:

65-70

90

I think it's a matter of how the person thinks of themselves.

65

Old enough to take care of him/herself.

It depends on the person. Some people are OLD at 65 but, for instance, my grandpa was 83 and died suddenly on his way to his doctor check-up. He had planned to go grocery shopping and pick me up from school that day. He was "old" but seriously, no one in my family expected him to go that "early."

My grandma died Christmas Eve and she was only 64! I think that's still young.

62. :D

I'm going with 90 or so
but it depends on the person :) My Parents are in there 60s and still IN GOOD SHAPE in fact Most PEOPLE dont believe my Dad OR mom for that matter are as old as they are
and My grandma is in her late 80s and STILL acts like a teenager half the time

Oh the naiveté of youth Kitt. You and I had better pack our bags for Happy Acres Retirement Home. ;)
The youngins' will discover that the older they get, how much their defination of old age will change.

90

80

I'd say old age is anywhere from 70 and up. Although, it does depend on the person's state of health, too. I guess old age would be when a person's health deteriorates to the point when they die.

Ditto. When I was younger I used to think 40 was old, but not anymore.

66.

26. Or 30. Thats when I consider someone to be "getting old." Umm.. anywhere between 55+ or even 70+. It all depends on how they carry themselves and what they look like.

Yes. Conan will be the big 4-0 on April 18th. No, you misunderstood me. I said the 26-30 is the "getting old" term. Youre not old yet, but youre matured (hopefully) and are starting to settle down.

I think it depends on the person. The people around me (alot of them are old in their 70's). It's all in the mind.

75
