Study reveals
At this age you are considered “old”
When does “being old” begin? A study has now determined the exact age at which people consider themselves “old”.
The topic of age is a sensitive and often discussed topic in our society. It comes with a mixture of respect, curiosity and sometimes fear. Many of us may sometimes ask ourselves: When am I actually considered “old”? This question can be answered very individually. But scientists from Humboldt University in Berlin, Stanford University, the University of Luxembourg and the University of Greifswald have tried to find a concrete answer to this question.
The search for the age of “being old”
The results of this study might be surprising because perceived age and actual biological age often differ. You can find out at what age the study participants actually described themselves as “old” and what this means for our perception of getting older in our video.
