Old age

Old age is when someone is no longer a young person and is quite a bit older. It usually starts when a person is in their late 50s or early 60s and can last until the end of their life. Being old means that a person’s body is not as strong as it used to be, and they might have trouble doing some of the things that they used to do when they were younger. Older adults might need help taking care of themselves or getting around, so their families or friends might need to give them some extra help.
