It's the definition of "old". Sure, kids see old people all the time...but changes start waaay before then. I would have liked to know that SOME stuff starts changing in the 40's and 50's. Instead, I mention something to my doctor..."oh, well, you're not as young as you used to be". Seems like a brush-off instead of getting some good advice of how to slow something down that I didn't even know was going to start so soon!
Hmm. While I was in Bloomiington, IL, I got the same kinds of comments.
I got down here in Plano, TX, and my new doctor's opinion is that they should not have doffed off treatable conditions just because I'm old.
I do believe there needs to be real awareness that the biological process of aging is a major part of life and that certain things happen to almost everyone within certain age ranges.
Yep, we all age.
Stuff happens and aging happens from the time one is born.
That's life.
If you're trying to say that someone ages more between ages 55 and 65 than between ages 35 and 45, or 25 and 35, or 5 and 15, then say so, and present that proof.
Your posting history on age issues indicate you're either trolling or overly concerned with age issues.
I think the thing really missing is lack of contact with older people. When I was growing up in the 50s and 60s my grandparents were near by and so were my grandparents siblings. They did things with us that busy parents with many kids in the era didn't have time for. They really listened to us. They lived near enough when we were fairly young we could bicycle to see them. We did things for them. They were real people.

I would definitely argue that debilitating effects attributable to age advance with increasing effect as one ages. I certainly lost more capability from 40 to 50 and from 50 to 60 than I did from 20 to 30.

50 to 60 has been the first significant downturn for me and I am only 2/3 through it. Mostly joint problems. I am not sure I would have changed anything if I had a warning. I sort of did have a warning as it is inherited.
There have been federal school lunch recommendations and requirements for decades.

The amount of food provided changed....parents were being told they could not send certain types of food with their kids (and not just peanut butter).
Luckily, this never affected my kids, as they attended private schools throughout their education careers, but my neighbors had horror stories.....tiny portions for burly football playing guys, weird vegetables like lima and garbanzo beans, etc.
I'm just over half a century, and I figure I am only about 1/3 of the way through life, so.....
Attitude is everything!!
Having a good attitude as you age is about dealing with adversity, not denying it. I have a positive outlook about how to adapt my plans to what I can handle even though it's less than I had planned.
