There is no clear cut definition to old age or no set boundary to it either. Back then quite a lot of people use to say that when someone has grey hair they are considered old but scientifically this is not true because even kids nowadays have grey hair due to genetics. But in general old age means when yo become weak and then start to depend one someone for assistance with their day to day activities which they were able to carry out alone when they were young.

They might start to mix up stuff and start mumbling to themselves. All these happen due to old age. When it comes to their psychology they tend to be needier. They would demand for stuff and also for attention.
