Social scientists and public one thought that late adulthood began at about age 55 or 60; many now put it at 65 or 70. Do your respondents agree?

When I was 31 and my Mother was 59 we determined we were both in middle age at the same time.
That is based on youth being from birth to 30, middle age from 30 to 60 and old age from 60 to 90.

It's more a state of mind than a physical reality. I've met people who, because of the lives they've lived, looked as though they were in their 40s when they were in their 20s, and someone who was like a 30-year-old at the age of 60+. People move slower and act more like seniors when they've been brought up by older parents or guardians, too, I've noticed. I believe that you are as old as you feel.

You only get old when you give up on life and lose interest in learning new things and meeting new people. Chronological years mean nothing. As long as your mind is active, it doesn't matter if your body needs replacing. Old is a state of mind.

When they start thinking old.
Age is a relative thing. Old as the Earth. Old as the Universe. That's old.
We are indeed very young by comparison, even when we are old.

i don't think you get "old" as in feel old you always feel young at heart it would be just your depression in thinking that your old from society saying you are. thats what i think anyway .
