Old Man Myths and Realities

1 When does a middle-aged man become an oldman? Officially, of course, it's when we reach retirement age. But, as we allknow, this is a fairly blunt （生硬的） method of decisionmaking. As life expectancy （预期寿命） increases, retirementplanning needs to be changed. This is because being an old man today is verydifferent from what it was a generation or so ago.

2 Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. Thesedays people are talking about the young-old, that is ages 70-75, and those over75 as the old-old. The young-old frequently continue in good health andmaintain strong links with friends and family. The old-old have a much higherchance of poor health and social isolation.

3 Although men are living longer, there arestill more old women than old men. This fact alone should arouse interest as towhy. Relatively little is actually known about why this is the case or aboutthe experiences of the old man. Sure, we are aware that the old man experiencesanxiety, financial problems, loneliness, etc., but that's really about all weknow.

4 It is usually believed that the old man oftencomplains about their health. In fact, most rate their health as good even thoughmost are diagnosed with at least one chronic illness. The physical health ofthe old man is strongly affected by their health behavior when they wereyounger.
