The age when Gen Z say you are properly old is revealed (and it puts Salma Hayek, Mike Tyson and Gordon Ramsay among the geriatrics)

Gen Z has revealed what age they consider ‘old’ – and it puts Salma Hayek, Mike Tyson and Gordan Ramsay among geriatrics.

A total of 2,000 adults took part in the study, highlighting some of the clear generational differences, especially between Gen Z (born 1997 to 2012) and Boomers (born 1946 to 1964).

Young people under 27 believe that old age hits you in your late 50s, with retirement mainly consisting of sitting in an armchair (20 percent) and pottering around (16 percent).

This would mean that Gordan Ramsay, Mike Tyson and Salma Hayek are geriatric in the eyes of young people at the age of 57.

But Boomers believe 60 is the new 40, with two-thirds of respondents saying they feel younger than they are.

One in five Boomers feel twenty years younger than their actual age, according to the survey, while a fifth (18 percent) say they are having the time of their lives.

Boomers are the most active generation and typically spend four hours more outside outside of work than young adults and millennials.

And they are the most likely to enjoy traveling and exploring new places, and are more likely to spend time exercising (56 percent) than the 18 to 27 year olds who were least likely to do so (39 percent).

It also found that 68 percent of Boomers considered themselves active individuals, but 37 percent were unable to do as much as they would like due to health problems and chronic joint pain.

A Wellsoon spokesperson from the Practice Plus Group, which commissioned the research, said: ‘Older generations are extremely active, and many older people are more active than some of their younger friends and relatives – with almost half of younger people saying being too busy with work and too tired kept them from being more active.

‘Older people are making the most of their retirement and have reached an age where they feel good about themselves and appreciate their body and their health.

‘Of all generations, it was people aged 79 and over who preferred to have fun with friends.

‘They are not willing to accept that joint pain is something you have to put up with just because you are ‘old’ – they will see it as a bump in the road that needs to be overcome so that they can enjoy many more happy and active years .’

When thinking about the meaning of “aging,” a quarter of Boomers associated it with not being as healthy as you are when you’re younger.

While 22 percent of millennials thought it would lose your appearance and change your appearance.

However, there is a lot of hope according to OnePoll data, with celebrities over 60 such as Helen Mirren, Judi Dench and George Clooney being the biggest inspirations for all age groups when it comes to aging well and staying active.

Globetrotter Michael Palin, who turns 81 this week, is one of the most inspiring celebrities of the Boomer and Silent generations.

Boomers said they learned to appreciate their bodies at age 38, with 80 percent feeling grateful for their physical well-being.

A Wellsoon spokesperson from Practice Plus Group added: ‘We have always known that people who come to us for hip and knee replacements and hernia repairs do not do so to get back into their armchairs.

‘They want to dance, cycle, walk, they want to swim on holiday and run around in the park with their grandchildren.’

Linda MacDonald, 74, from Chard, Somerset, recently completed her 117th 5km Park Run, despite having a total knee replacement last year.

She said: ‘I was so scared that I would never be able to run again after the operation. Before my surgery, I thought my running days would be over,” said Linda, a retired teacher from Chard School.

‘With the agreement of her hospital team, she gradually returned, taking part in weekly fitness and strength training classes to strengthen her muscles and switching to an electric bicycle to build up her fitness.

After short runs in her local area, Linda returned to her beloved Parkrun in Taunton with her daughter and son-in-law last Christmas.

‘I feel like I’ve been given a gift and a new start. I look to the future and have always said I want to start running when I’m 80. Running a 5K regularly is part of my lifestyle, and I love the atmosphere of parkrun and racing against myself.

“My time is probably ten minutes slower than before my surgery, but I’m getting there. I have a new lease on life and can continue doing everything I love and recently started playing golf again!’
