The warmer weather is easier on stiff joints. Cold weather can make life miserable for joints and poor circulation.

Florida has a large population of senior citizens because most of them moved there to retire for the warm weather. Colder weather is harder on older people because it aggravates aches and pains. In addition, cold weather can be dangerous for older people, especially if they have little or no heat. Furthermore, snow shoveling is a heart attack risk that increases as you get older, and there's no snow in FL.

Maybe because it is cheap to live for retired people.

None of the above answers are true. People in Florida are older because of the warm climate, all things grow faster when it's hot. This is also true of chemical reactions.

Florida has beautiful weather basically all year around.I think that old people enjoy hot weather because it keeps them happy.I also think that some old people don't like cold weather because they probably get the cold and flu many times.

it is also part of the sun belt wihich is the southeast area of the US that has become increasingly popular over the years

It's because of the warm, humid weather....that's also why a lot of New Yorkers move down there..... PS it's not cool to call them old people, Senior citizens or Retirees would be better.
