The standard for measuring the elderly, everyone is based on age, with 60 years old as the boundary, and those over 60 years old are called the elderly, the question is, is age the only criterion?
Of course not. For example, two elderly people who are also 60 years old, one of them is strong, goes to the hospital to check that there is no disease, can take care of himself, and can even help his children take care of children, and then look at another old man, when he is 60 years old, all kinds of chronic diseases are found, and he has to go to the hospital for hospitalization once in a while, some are troubled by diseases, and life is no longer able to take care of himself, and some of them can take care of themselves although they can take care of themselves, but they need the help of others.
Therefore, as you can see, the same two old people, the gap is very large.
Also, there is a bigger gap, although some old people are already seventy or eighty years old, but their bodies are tough and look like they are in their fifties, but some people are just forty-five years old, but their physical condition may not be as good as that of seventy or eighty years old.
It can be seen that old is not old, age is not the only measure, it can even be said that old is not old, age is not old, the key is to see if there are these 5 performances! If you are 60 years old, please be seated.
