Do you consider 60 years of age as old age?

I think because we are living longer nowadays and a lot healthier than we used to be when pushing 60, I think old age is now around 80 or 85 (I'm not saying that because I am nearly 60 honest! lol)

Yes, I agree with Godleycreme. Due to better medical care and higher standard of life, 60's can no longer be considered as an old age. Well, only 80 plus may be considered as the beginning of old age.

thumbs up

60 is just a number. I think old age differs for each person - it depends on how you feel about yourself. If you're 60 but you can still do a lot of the things that you usually do without difficulty, then you are as young as you can be. smile

In this day and age 60 is not old by any means. I think you have to be pushing nearer the late 80's to be classed as old !

Gone are the days of trying to reach the ripe old age of 60- it is definitley not old. We are lucky to live in an age where there is great advancement in healthcare.

70 years old can be considered old age. If you are 60 years old you can still work and I think the desirable retiring age is around 65.
