The 2024 "Age Standard for the Elderly" has been announced, and after this age, it may be called "Elderly".
In fact, the term "elderly" is not a fixed age limit, but changes with social and cultural changes. In different historical periods and regional cultures, the definition and title of the elderly are different.
In general, it is generally accepted that when a person reaches the age of 60, they can be called an old man. This age node indicates that a person has experienced the precipitation of most of his life, accumulated rich life experience and wisdom, and gradually entered the later stage of life.
However, the development of modern society and the improvement of living standards have made people's life expectancy continue to prolong, and the definition of elderly people is gradually changing.
Some people believe that a person can only be truly called an old person when they are in their seventies, eighties, or even older. Because at this age, people have experienced more vicissitudes of life, have a deeper understanding of life and wisdom, and have become a valuable asset of society.
Whether they are 60 years old or older, the elderly are a group worthy of our respect and care. They play an important role in society, not only have rich experience and wisdom, but also make great contributions to the stability and development of society.
We should respect the rights and dignity of the elderly, provide them with the necessary help and care, and let them feel warmth and happiness in their later years.

When the elderly are old, why do they smell of old people?
First of all, as we age, the skin of the elderly gradually loses its elasticity and the metabolism slows down, resulting in an increase in dead skin cells on the surface of the skin.
These dead skin cells are broken down by microorganisms, releasing a peculiar odor. In addition, the elderly have reduced sebum secretion, and the skin becomes dry and prone to odors.
Secondly, the physical condition and disease status of the elderly are also an important source of geriatric taste. As they age, older adults may suffer from various chronic diseases such as diabetes, uremia, etc., which affect metabolic processes within the body and produce odors. In addition, the digestive and urinary systems of the elderly are weakened, which can also lead to bad taste in the mouth and urine.
Finally, the living habits and environment of the elderly are also one of the factors that affect the taste of the elderly. Older people tend to have a small range of motion and poor indoor air circulation, which can easily breed bacteria and mold, resulting in odors. In addition, the eating habits and oral hygiene habits of the elderly can also affect the production of geriatric taste.

Top 4 facial features of long-lived seniors, see how many you have?
First, the eyebrows are high and drooping. The eyebrows of the long-lived elderly are often tall and long-hanging, like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing with the tranquility of the years. This characteristic not only shows the wisdom and calmness of the elderly, but also a symbol of vigorous blood and tenacious vitality.
Second, the eyes are bright. The eyes of the long-lived old man always shine with wisdom, as if they can perceive everything in the world. Their eyes are firm and deep, revealing inner peace and tranquility. Such a look is the best interpretation of health and longevity.
Third, the middle of the human body is deep. The philtrum, i.e., the depression under the bridge of the nose, tends to be deep and conspicuous in the long-lived elderly. This characteristic is considered to be a manifestation of sufficient kidney qi in TCM theory, which is closely related to longevity.
Fourth, the ears are thick. The ears of long-lived seniors are usually thick and wide, which is a symbol of strong kidney qi and keen hearing. As a microcosm of the human body, the shape of the ear often reflects the health of the body.
