Old Man Myths and Realities

1 When does a middle-aged man become an old man？Officially，of course，it's when we reach retirement age. But，as weall know，this is a fairly blunt （生硬的）method of decision making. As life expectancy（预期寿命）increases，retirement planning needs to bechanged. This is because being an old man today is very different from what itwas a generation or so ago.

2 Sixty-five is the new middle-aged man. Thesedays people are talking about the young-old，that isages 70-75，and those over 75 as the old-old. Theyoung-old frequently continue in good health and maintain strong links withfriends and family. The old-old have a much higher chance of poor health andsocial isolation.

3 Although men are living longer，there are still more old women than old men. This fact alone shouldarouse interest as to why. Relatively little is actually known about why thisis the case or about the experiences of the old man. Sure，we are aware that the old man experiences anxiety，financial problems，loneliness，etc.but that's really about all we know.

4 It is usually believed that the old man oftencomplains about their health. In fact，most rate theirhealth as good even though most are diagnosed with at least one chronicillness. The physical health of the old man is strongly affected by theirhealth behavior when they were younger.
