At what age does a man and woman become ‘old’?

Question

The skin on the neck and hands is often among the first body parts to show signs of aging. The skin on the neck is thinner and more delicate than skin elsewhere, making it more prone to fine lines and wrinkles. Hands are also exposed to daily elements and can develop wrinkles and dry skin.

The pineal gland is the first endocrine organ to age, typically starting around the age of 6. This is followed by other endocrine glands, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, gonads, pancreatic islets, and thyroid gland, in that order. The first signs of aging are often seen in the musculoskeletal system, followed by the eyes and ears in mid-life.

Thus, I would say that by age 6, you are starting to become old.

"I believe if I refuse to grow old, I can stay young 'til I die." -- from Pippin, "No Time At All"

There are people who are old at 30, and people who are young at 90.

I have an 80-year-old friend who roto-tills his large garden every spring. Is he old?
I have a 61-year-old friend who skis the double blacks and is an expert mountain biker. Is he old?

A man is old when he buys a house & all he talks about is the grass. A woman is old when she buys a cat & starts knitting on a Saturday night.

Not sure about women but I'm sure there is a saying for men that states that a man is only as old as the woman he is... with.  And no don't say it I'm referring to adults only

37 is middle age by the numbers, so I would say 56 is old.

I’ve seen 85-year-olds look real good so I’m guessing maybe 90

Guys I'm not sure about. But women it's about 40.

People in 40s are middle-aged, so older than 50 is old.
