People in the older adulthood stage are 65 years old or older. This stage is usually a period in which an adult is wiser and more knowledgeable. Older adults are also generally more mature and more emotionally stable. Older adulthood is often characterized by a reduced ability to fight off illness resulting in an increase of health problems. Individuals in this stage may also experience mental problems like depression, anxiety, or loneliness.

Growing old is not necessarily synonymous with substantial mental or physical deterioration.
Many older people are happy and engaged in a variety of activities.
