How do you define the concept of old age? Studies have shown demographic differences, with women considering the start of old age about two and a half years later on average than men do, a gender discrepancy that is even larger among younger generations. Loneliness, developing more chronic diseases, poorer self-assessment of health, etc., are also related to an earlier perception of aging. Physicians advise to pay attention to healthy eating habits, get sufficient sleep (7 hours a day), and engage in regular exercise. Aging is a mixture of disease, disability, and normal aging, with diseases being specific and aging affecting the entire organism. The article also touches upon the impacts of an aging society and the need to focus on healthy aging for a better quality of life.
