How old is old

I think 80 is an old age . Hear are three reasons why 80 is an old age.

When you get to 80 years old your mind and ears don't work as well. You might be deaf or hard of hearing. You might have Alzheimers or you might have Parkinson disease. They are really bad disease to have. If you have them you slowly die.

When your 80 your bones become weaker which means that your mobility is not as quick as it is when you are younger. Elderly people quite often have to move into a seniors home where they get help with eating, dressing and even getting in and out of bed. They might even have to use a wheel chair a cane or an electric scooter.

By this time you are not working. If you are able to be at home you are limited to what you can do, some of the activities that you can do are putting puzzles together and looking out the window.

You can stay in shape by eating healthy. Going for walks and getting fresh air. That is why I think 80 is an old age.
